Aldi's Pistachio Creme Returns: Is It Really 'Insane'?
Aldi shoppers, get ready! The German supermarket is bringing back its wildly popular Specially Selected Pistachio Creme spread on April 27th, and they're warning that once it's gone, it's gone. This creamy, nutty treat, initially launched in November 2024, sent social media into a frenzy with TikTok users calling it "insane" and urging others to "run, don't walk" to grab a jar. The 200g jar costs just £1.79 – a significant saving compared to the M&S alternative.
A Social Media Sensation
The buzz around Aldi's pistachio spread isn't just hype. TikTok is flooded with enthusiastic reviews. One user, @well.beingjade, confessed, "Oh my goodness it was so good I could have eaten the full jar," while @stephanieshaw58 simply stated, "Wow. That is insane." This level of passionate consumer response highlights the spread's appeal and explains its rapid sell-out status.
More Than Just Pistachios
Aldi's pistachio offerings extend beyond the spread. Alongside the returning Pistachio Creme, the Specially Selected Milk & Hazelnut Creme will also be available. For dessert lovers, Aldi is offering a new Specially Selected Pistachio Tiramisu (£2.49 for a two-pack) and a Chocolate & Hazelnut Tiramisu. However, not all Aldi launches are universally loved. Their Dubai Chocolate Style Ice Cream, while popular with some, received mixed reviews, with some users finding it lacking in pistachio flavor.
Other Aldi News & Easter Opening Hours
Aldi also recently hosted its annual Supermarket Sweep fundraiser for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS), offering a lucky shopper a five-minute trolley dash. Elsewhere, a new Aldi store in Epsom, Surrey, has finally been approved after years of planning battles. Finally, remember to check Aldi's website for store opening hours, especially during bank holidays like Easter, as hours may vary by location.
Is the Hype Real?
While the overwhelmingly positive response to the Pistachio Creme is undeniable, individual tastes vary. However, the combination of delicious flavor, affordable price, and enthusiastic online endorsements suggest Aldi's Pistachio Creme is worth trying. Will it live up to the "insane" hype? You'll have to try it to find out! Head to your local Aldi on April 27th.
