Aldi Cucina Focaccia Rosemary





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 good, and the ingredients are all natural, but they don't taste fresh. They taste processed. They are part baked (which I didn't notice at first, and ate one "raw" which revealed a slightly unfinished plastic taste), so you need to pop them in the oven for seven minutes. This warms them up and removes the doughy, plastic, unfinished taste, but doesn't make them taste fresh. The rosemary is hard and inedible and the bread is lacking in the yumminess of a decent focaccia. These are cheap and edible, but are not hugely enjoyable. There is a plastic quality about them that is off-putting.

Score: 4
