With Brits visiting Italy over 4 million times a year, it’s no surprise that Italian is the nation’s favourite cuisine. Since 20th August discount supermarket Aldi – UK’s fifth largest supermarket with over 700 stores and over 29,000 employees – is helping customers enjoy a Taste of Italy (minus the cost of flights and hotels) with an Italian themed Specialbuy event instore.

Aldi’s Specially Selected Aged Balsamic Vinegar (£4.99) is the star of the show. Matured in wooden barrels for a minimum of three years to give a richer flavour, this quality Balsamic vinegar, holds an impressive ‘5 Leaf Rating’ and is the perfect go-to for tasty salad dressings, soups, stews and marinades. What’s more, it’s 56% cheaper than Waitrose’s 1 Aceto Balsamico Di Modena (£11.25). For primo piatto, Aldi offers a delicious pasta dish using Aldi’s Specially Selected Bronze Die Tagliatelle (£0.85), Dolmio Special Recipe Red Wine Bolognese Sauce (£1.29) or Dolmio Special Recipe Cherry Tomato, Chilli & Paprika Bolognese Sauce (£1.29) and Italian Seasoning (£0.69). Not to forget the Part Bake Stone Oven Bread Sticks (£0.99) to help wipe the bowl clean. Then, why not side with a refreshing Caprese Salad using Aldi’s Beef Tomatoes for only 49p paired with generous slices of Specially Selected Buffalo Mozzarella (£0.99), a drizzle of Toscano Extra Virgin Olive Oil (£5.99), and finished with a handful of fresh basil leaves.
