If you’re a regular ALDI shopper, you’ll know the thrill of discovering a new favourite in the aisles—especially when it’s easy on the wallet.
In fact, some of your favourites might have been the result of serendipitous moments when a certain product caught your attention and you decided to try it out.
But every now and then, a product comes along that’s not just a personal favourite, but a nationwide sensation.
Enter ALDI’s Savoritz Cheese Crisps, which have just been named ‘Product of the Year’ by a whopping 40,000 shoppers. At just $3 a bag, it’s no wonder these crunchy morsels are flying off the shelves.
What makes Savoritz Cheese Crisps so special?
Let’s start with the basics: Savoritz Cheese Crisps are made entirely from aged Parmesan cheese. That’s right—no fillers, no artificial flavours, no preservatives, and absolutely no carbs or sugar.
Each 2-ounce bag packs a protein punch with 13 grams per serve, making them a guilt-free snack for anyone watching their waistline or looking to up their protein intake.
But it’s not just about what’s inside. These crisps are baked to golden perfection, delivering a satisfying crunch that cheese lovers can’t get enough of.
Available in both Parmesan and Cheddar flavours, they’re a versatile addition to any pantry.
How Aussies are enjoying their cheese crisps
While you can certainly enjoy these straight from the bag (and many do!), ALDI’s Savoritz Cheese Crisps are winning fans for their versatility. Here are just a few ways people are using them:
- Charcuterie boards: Add a cheesy crunch to your next platter.
- Soup toppers: Crumble them over tomato or pumpkin soup for a flavour boost.
- Salad croutons: Swap out traditional croutons for a gluten-free, protein-rich alternative.
- Dips: Pair with hummus, guacamole, or your favourite dip for a satisfying snack.
- Breadcrumb substitute: Crush them up and use as a coating for chicken, fish, or even roasted veggies. One clever Reddit user swears by this hack for oven-roasted asparagus and green beans!
Why the hype?
It’s not just the taste and versatility that have people talking. At $3 a bag, these cheese crisps are a budget-friendly option compared to similar products at specialty stores, which can cost twice as much. For those following low-carb, keto, or gluten-free diets, they’re a dream come true.
And it’s not just the cheese crisps getting attention. ALDI’s annual Product of the Year awards, based on votes from tens of thousands of shoppers, highlight the best of the best across 42 categories.
Other ALDI winners this year include Kirkwood Chicken Nuggets, Specially Selected Premium Cookie Dough, Simply Nature Chocolate Covered Freeze Dried Fruit, Summit Popz Prebiotic Sodas, Park Street Deli Pickle Chips, Specially Selected Snow Crab Legs, and Specially Selected Sparkling Brut Rosé.
ALDI’s secret sauce: Listening to shoppers
ALDI’s success with products like Savoritz Cheese Crisps isn’t just luck.
The supermarket giant is known for listening to its customers and responding to trends—whether it’s the demand for healthier snacks, affordable gourmet treats, or products that fit special diets.
The Product of the Year awards are a testament to ALDI’s ability to deliver what shoppers want, year after year.
How do they stack up against other snacks?
If you’ve tried other cheese crisps or protein snacks, you might be wondering how ALDI’s version compares.
According to online reviews and Reddit threads, Savoritz Cheese Crisps hold their own against pricier brands, with many shoppers saying they’re just as tasty—if not better—and far more affordable.
Are they available in Australia?
While the Savoritz brand is a staple in ALDI’s US stores, Australian ALDI fans will know that our local range sometimes differs.
However, ALDI Australia frequently brings in similar cheese crisp snacks under their own labels, so keep an eye out in the Special Buys or snack aisles. If you spot them, they’re well worth a try!
