Aldi Cucina Focaccia Cheese & Red Onion





These are 99p for four attached rolls in a plastic wrapper. Cucina appears to be Aldi's brand name for foods associated with Italy such as pasta and, as here, focaccia. They look attractive, and the ingredients are all natural and appear reasonable. But they are not fresh. You have to finish them off for a few minutes in the oven. I ate one of the rosemary flavoured focaccia straight from the packet, and without being warmed in the oven it did taste unfinished and doughy, so these all went in the oven. They are tasty enough, especially if spread with butter and eaten with some mature gruyere cheese, but they are a little way away from an authentic fresh focaccia.

They are cheap and tasty enough, and I ate them quite happily, but the lack of freshness, and the lack of the joy and pleasure you get from eating well made focaccia means I won't be buying them again.

Score: 4
