Aldi has become a major player on the supermarket scene in the UK over recent years, so much so that there have been two new Aldi stores built in our town over the last year. Aldi typically has the reputation of being a budget supermarket filled with budget brands. However, recently Aldi has introduced new lines including affordable organic food and ‘Specially selected’ products.
Aldi's new organic range features Broccoli, Onions, Carrots, Cauliflower and Potatoes. The new organic range is very affordable, in fact, shoppers may find that products are 25% cheaper than in other supermarkets. I was able to find lots of organic products in my local store and the vegetables were all reasonably priced and visibly cheaper than other supermarkets.
Aldi challenged me to create some Vegetarian recipes using their new Organic and "Specially Selected" range to see what I thought of the premium ranges. Voucher in hand, I had a good look around the store at the ranges before deciding what to make. I was surprised to find that there was a such a big premium range, with lots of Vegetarian products in. Plus, they have a fantastic Christmas range in at the moment, with lots of delicious cheeses too.
With the Organic and Specially Selected range I chose to make Broccoli, Onion and Red Pepper Tagliatelle served with Sicilian Olive Oil and Farmhouse Vintage Cheddar. I used the Broccoli and Onion from the Organic Range. I also chose the Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and some soft cream cheese to create a sauce, along with Farmhouse Vintage Cheddar.
I am really impressed with the new Aldi Organic and Specially Selected ranges. There are lots of fantastic products to choose from and all at very reasonable prices. I shall certainly be visiting Aldi again to purchase from their premium ranges.

"Specially Selected" products are chosen for their outstanding quality, ingredients, provenance and recipe. In the local store I found the premium brands in curry sauces, fajita sauce, , pasta and pasta sauce, chutneys, beetroot, oil, cheeses, and lots more. I was really impressed with such a wide range of products and interesting and varied ingredients.

I am featuring a main course here made with Organic and Specially Selected ingredients, and will also feature a dessert in a separate post.
