BACK IN STORE! The $6 cult Aldi cheese that’s been voted BETTER than its fancy French rivals

It sold out in a day last year! - by Amy Sinclair

It’s the budget Aldi cheese that sold out in a day when it was first released last year.

Well now the bargain supermarket’s Le Pave cheese is BACK IN STORE - and cheese lovers around Australia are VERY excited.

BACK IN STORE! The $6 cult Aldi cheese that’s been voted BETTER than its fancy French rivals

The $6 fromage - described by Aldi as ‘A creamy and decadent cheese, perfect with a crusty baguette’ - is so good, that cheese critics have even labelled it better than its French rivals.

And the best part? It costs a third of the price, when compared to the hugely popular D’Affinois cheese which is about $17 for 200g.

Says one cheese fan: ‘I never thought I would say this, but it’s actually better than D’Affinois. But of course, you could buy three Le Paves for the price of one wedge of D’Affinois!’

Le Pave’s arrival back in store was spotted by the @Aldiloversau on Instagram. They write: ‘STOP THE PRESS. Stalk the cheese fridge. Because look what’s coming back on the shelves! Thanks for sharing @ashb_16. Spotted in the Cockburn Gateways WA store ⭐️⭐️ #aldiloversau #aldiaustralia #lepave #frenchcheese #aldicheese #aldicheeselovers #aldicheeseaddicts’

And it seems they weren’t the only ones who were excited.

‘Bought 5 on Thursday. Best day ever,’ wrote one. Said another: ‘YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!’ Added one more: ‘Best cheese EVER.’

We’re heading to Aldi RIGHT now!
