I am a HUGE fan of cheese. I will try ANYTHING. I was so excited to get my hands on one of Aldi’s cheese calendars. I will say that I was a little disappointed by the size of the cheese but I also thought the price of it wasn’t too expensive.

1. Extra Mature Cheddar- This is a white cheese, not a soft cheese (almost crumbly), and tastes like a really good sharp cheddar. 5/5
2. Black Pepper Gouda- It has almost no taste but the occasional peppery flavor. Even still, I enjoyed this mild cheese. 3/5
3. Smoky Cheddar (Mimolette Cheese)- This tastes like it says. It makes me think of a smoked meat. 3/5
4. Spiced Apple Cheddar- I’m going to need to buy this in a larger size because this tastes and smells like stuffing. 5/5
5. Aged Gouda- A very mild, but classic cheese. 4/5
6. Cheddar with Whiskey- This cheese almost has a strawberry taste to me. It’s not quite crumbly but not totally soft either. 4/5
7. Cheddar with Port Wine- A marbled cheese that doesn’t really have the port wine flavor but it is a decent cheddar. 4/5
8. Goat Cheese- Not a whole lot of flavor, but what flavor there is, tastes like I’m eating a goat. 1/5
9. Black Truffle Cheddar- A harder cheese that tastes similar to most other truffle-flavored foods. 3/5
10. Mustard Gouda- A very interesting and delightful flavor with hints of spices while still managing to have a faint mustard taste. 4/5
11. Sweet English Cheddar- This is exactly what it says it is and I don’t know how to explain it any better. 5/5
12. Spiced Apple Cheddar- Repeat. 5/5
13. Mustard Gouda- This is a repeat. 4/5
14. Mimolette- An orange cheese that starts out smoky then turns bitter. 1/5
15. Cheddar with Whiskey- This is a white cheese, hard and crumbly with a heavy whiskey flavor. 3/5
16. Smoky Cheddar- Repeat. 3/5
17. Black Pepper Gouda- Repeat. 3/5
18. Cheddar with Port Wine- This is a repeat. 4/5
19. Extra Mature Cheddar- Repeat. 5/5
20. Sweet English Cheddar- Repeat. 5/5
21. Mimolette- Repeat. 1/5
22. Aged Gouda- This is a repeat. 4/5
23. Goat Cheese- This is a repeat and I didn’t bother to try it again. 1/5
24. Black Truffle Cheddar- Repeat. 3/5

As you can see, I enjoyed most of these flavors of cheese. I’m now starving for some after writing this and I simply can’t wait until this December. I hope that the next one incorporates some cheeses with fruit in them. If you have tried Aldi’s cheese advent calendar, what did you think of it?
