Aldi releases a brand new pistachio-centric item

It seems like the pistachio food trend isn't ending any time soon, as shoppers rush to get their hands on a new item from Aldi. The supermarket chain has released Farmer Jo's Pistachio Spread, which comes in both crunchy and smooth varieties, and is dairy-free, gluten-free and plant-based. The product retails for $9.99. Pistachios are having a moment right now, with a recent spike in demand for pistachio flavoured products thanks to the Dubai Chocolate trend, which has seen the price and availability of the humble nut soar. Popular food content creator @NectoriousPapi tried the new spread from Aldi. 'It's beautiful,' he said after taking a bite. 'The texture is a little bit runny but it's also thick. It's just a great consistency, great texture. The flavour is the most important — it's a very strong pistachio taste, but not too strong. 'That 19 per cent really hits you in the face but it's also got a sweet element to it. 'Overall, it's a delicious, creamy pistachio spread.' Tati, who goes by @tastitati, also taste tested the pistachio spreads. 'I could put this in my yoghurt bowl,' she said. 'This is bussin'. It's so smooth but I love how it's got these little crunchy bits in it.' Fans of the supermarket chain, and the pistachio trend, expressed their excitement. 'This is such a slay,' one social media user said. Another said: 'Looking forward to trying this out when it drops on July 23. Love a good pistachio spread, especially with those dietary friendly options.' One added: 'Shut the front door.' An Aldi spokesperson commented on the spread's rapidly rising popularity. 'Our new Farmer Jo's Pistachio Spread has officially broken the internet (and maybe a few toast habits). Packed with pistachio flavour, it's rich, nutty and dangerously good,' an Aldi spokesperson told 'Within three days of being on shelves, it's been incredible to see our shoppers already spreading the love all over socials. Slather it, bake with it, or eat it straight off the spoon, who are we to judge. 'At just $9.99, it's an indulgence that won't break the bank.' It comes after Aldi released its $4.99 Hugos Pistachio Bombs and Hugos Pistachio Cream Covered Pretzels last month. Nectro weighed in on the items at the time, saying that the Pistachio Bombs were basically like the Dubai Chocolate in ball form. 'Not a lot of kataifi in this one, so I was expecting more crunch as you do with the Dubai Chocolate — but it's still there, just a lot more finer,' he said. 'The milk chocolate is a little overpowering, I feel like it would have worked better with white chocolate. In saying that, it's still delicious.' As for the pretzels, he said fans could taste a lot of the pistachio flavouring, adding it also had a hint of white chocolate and salt. He said if he had to pick out of the two, the pretzels would win.

Aldi Australia announces the return of hundreds of discontinued viral favourites - but only for a limited time

If you needed another excuse to plan your next Aldi run, this week's national announcement might just be it. The budget supermarket has just dropped its biggest Limited Time Only range of the year, featuring more than 250 fresh and returning foodie favourites, starting from just 99 cents. Among the viral snack sensations making a comeback include the now iconic Farmer Jo Pistachio Spread ($9.99), a creamy, nutty jar of heaven that had shoppers in a frenzy last time it landed on shelves. Whether shoppers after fuss-free party starters, addictive snacks, or decadent desserts, the lineup is bursting with bold flavours, clever convenience, and serious bang for buck. 'This range is all about enjoying top-notch treats, speedy snacks and tasty desserts that are still easy on the wallet,' said Aldi Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke. 'We're constantly on the lookout for new tasty goodies and to bring back crowd favourites for our customers, especially when it comes to adding delicious sensations to our Limited Time Only range.' From White Chocolate Dipped Mango to Mexican Beef Arancini, there's a lot for fans to keep an eye out for before they sell out completely. Because like all good things, this drop won't last forever. However, it's the Farmer Jo Pistachio Spread is generating the most buzz online. At just $9.99, the rich, silky spread is everything pistachio lovers dream of and is perfect spooned onto toast, swirled through porridge or devoured straight from the jar. 'Looking forward to trying this out when it drops on July 23rd!' one fan wrote. 'Love a good pistachio spread, especially with those dietary-friendly options.' 'Yeah the vegan stuff, finally,' wrote another. This is part of Aldi's Limited Time Only snack stash, which also includes, Frozen Pretzels ($6.49), Brioche Cinnamon French Rolls ($4.99), Oh So Natural Mushroom Chips ($4.99), Sol Brothers White Chocolate Dipped Mango ($3.99), Lolliland Sour Straps ($1.79) and Tom and Luke Snackaballs ($5.99) for guilt-free grazing. 'I've been waiting soooo long!' one fan commented about Aldi's cult Ltd Edition Frozen Pretzels returning. 'I spotted these limited time items at Aldi in Greensborough, Vic today. All in the freezer section,' another added after spying the pretzels in store. If hosting a get-together Aldi's new 'Let's Party' range can also do lot's of the heavy lifting. Think, flavour-packed finger foods that look fancy, taste amazing, and go from freezer to table in under 40 minutes. According to the Aldi Fans Australia Facebook page, standouts from this range include, Mexican Style Beef Arancini ($4.99), Herb & Cheese Cauliflower Bites ($4.99), BBQ Pork Spring Rolls ($4.99), Tandoori Spiced Naan Bites ($4.99), Prawn Laksa Spring Roll Cones ($4.99) and the World Kitchen Burek ($10.99). And of course, no Aldi haul is complete without dessert, and the new Limited Time range has something for every kind of sweet tooth. Aldi super fans say the essentials to stock up on fast include Sweet Haven Mini Churros ($4.99), Food Envy Cheesecakes ($4.49), White Mill Cake in a Mug ($3.99) and the Belmont Biscuit Co Cookie Cups ($2.49). 'Desperately waiting in WA, but I have the feeling we are missing out here,' said one impatient shopper. With prices starting at just 99cents, every item is set to disappear fast, but if history's anything to go by, viral hits like the pistachio spread and pretzels will be the first to fly off shelves first.
