Every year, at the arrival of fall, Aldi launches a list of products chosen by the store’s fans, after having carried out a vote and choosing the best from a shortlist with dozens and dozens of products.
The result is the Aldi Fan Favorite List 2024, which includes options ranging from ready-made products for easy and budget-friendly everyday meals, to delicatessens for treating yourself on a day when you’re feeling intrepid in the kitchen. In this edition of “Fan Favorites”, Aldi celebrates the diversity of tastes of its loyal customers in the US, highlighting everything from the most innovative items to the timeless classics.
The Aldi Fan Favorite that dethrones Starbucks
In 2023, a product appeared in all Aldi stores that immediately became a bestseller and the store workers did not have enough hands to replace it when it was out of stock. I can attest because I saw how it disappeared from the Aldi refrigerators that I have in my neighborhood. The product, which also went viral, was Aldi’s Barissimo Coffee Barista Cold Foam, a doppelganger of a very similar cream foam from Starbucks but worth only a fraction of its price.
On Reddit, some shoppers have commented that Aldi’s version is “too much” like whipped cream, but others have said that the fat content is different and that it is very similar to that of the popular Seattle coffee shop. It is not too sweet, and is fantastic to put on top of a homemade cappuccino, or even any other dessert that requires a creamy and smooth crown on the palate. The price is $4.09, and it is the number 1 Fan Favorite on the list.
Straight from the North Atlantic to the Aldi Fan Favorites 2024 list
The Atlantic Salmon Portions offered by Aldi is an excellent source of essential nutrients for a balanced diet.

This salmon came directly from the North Atlantic to Aldi stores across the United States and became one of the winners of the Aldi Fan Favorites 2024 list, because it is delicious and soft, and also provides 23 grams of protein per serving, which It is good for strengthening muscles and tissues and enriches any diet.

A Spicy Hummus That Thousands Fell in Love With
If yours is a healthy and delicious snack, that stimulates all your taste buds at the same time, on the list of Aldi Fan Favorites we have found the Park Street Deli Spicy Hummus. Its creamy texture drove all the fans who voted on the list crazy and chose it as one of the best products of the year. It is ideal to accompany a salad, roasted vegetables, or to moisten pita bread or falafel croquettes. And if that were not enough, it is suitable for vegans, so you can buy it for a dinner or party where no one will be left out.
The combination of chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and a secret spice blend created by Park Street Deli will give you a burst of flavor in every bite. The spicy touch makes it even more addictive because it stimulates with sensations that are not too strong but just balanced. The 10-ounce jar is priced at $2.85 and is available at all US Aldi stores.
1000 Day Aged Gouda Cheese — Charcuterie Taken to a New Level
One might imagine that a good cheese is expensive, reserved only for the gourmets of the high princely courts, but Aldi has wanted to break that stereotype by selling the 1000 Day Aged Gouda Cheese that is only priced at $4.29 (per 5.3oz package). Gouda aged 1000 days is an experience that transcends the ordinary. With each bite, you take a journey through layers of flavor that evolve with aging time.
Its tyrosine crystals, the result of such a long maturation, provide a crunchy texture that contrasts wonderfully with its creamy and buttery interior. Salted caramel notes, perhaps a little earthy and certainly umami, create a dance in the mouth with their undeniable intensity. This cheese is an edible work of art, perfect for those looking for authentic flavors and an unforgettable dining experience, on a budget.
