Aldi is stirring up festive debate with three "controversial" cheese flavours that promise to spark conversation this Christmas.
The supermarket giant is embracing the "so wrong, it's right" philosophy with its latest Specially Selected range, featuring combinations that sound more like desserts than traditional cheeseboard offerings.
The retailer's bold move includes launching a Wensleydale mixed with Aldi's signature Ballycastle Irish Cream, white chocolate and caramel.
This eyebrow-raising creation joins a returning favourite combining cheddar with pineapple, plus a brand new sweet and smoky maple cheddar variety.

These polarising products are certain to spark lively discussions when they hit shelves next week.
The standout creation combines creamy Wensleydale cheese with Aldi's own Ballycastle Irish Cream liqueur, plus "delicious" white chocolate pieces and caramel swirls.
Aldi describes this "decadent" treat as offering both dessert and cheese course in a single bite.
Expect 'controversy' and 'decadence' from Aldi's festive cheese collection

The supermarket is positioning these adventurous flavour combinations as perfect for those seeking something different for their festive cheeseboards. Each 200g pack will cost £2.49.
The two other varieties joining this unique line-up are equally divisive. Aldi is bringing back its cheddar and pineapple combination, a flavour that has long split opinion between those who love the tropical twist and traditionalists who consider it sacrilege.
Next is a sweet and smoky maple cheddar, blending Canadian-inspired maple syrup notes with mature cheese. Both these speciality cheeses carry the same £2.49 price tag for 200g portions.
Branded "divisive yet delicious", the supermarket suggests it will make unexpected additions to traditional cheeseboards.
