Aldi Holding First Charcuterie Chalet Sampling Experience

ALDI Charcuterie Chalet

Aldi is holding Aldi Charcuterie Chalet, an immersive sampling experience, Dec. 4-5 in the Chicagoland area

“No matter if shoppers are charcuterie connoisseurs or just looking for budget-friendly ways to impress guests, our holiday food assortment of over 300 items will make hosts the talk of any holiday party (in a good way),” said Kim Brazington, Aldi certified cheese expert.

“We understand the stress associated with holiday hosting – and that includes the expenses. That’s why the Charcuterie Chalet was born: to show customers that they don’t need to overspend to throw a great party or finally win over the in-laws.”

The chalet will feature a variety of boards including:

  • The Aldi $50 Board: Packed with Appleton Farms DryCured Ham Prosciutto and Emporium Selection Double Gloucester Cheese.
  • Chalet Board: Built from Emporium Selection Smoked Gouda and shingled with Hard Salami Rustico, Candied Pecans and Stuffed Queen Olives, as well as Tête de Moine Rosettes.
  • Holiday Sweater Board: Features a spread of meats and cheeses, including the Farmstead Blue Cheese and Appleton Farms Sliced Italian Dry Salami, and layered with Seeded Crackers.
  • Windy City Board: Constructed from layers of Emporium Selection Aged White Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, accents of Tête de Moine Rosettes and Havarti.
  • Charcuterie Drink Toppers: These are mini-boards of varieties, including Salami Charcuterie Trio, Puff Pastry Triangles and Emporium Selection Goat’s Milk Brie.
  • Sweets Board: A showcase of holiday treats, including Choceur Chocolate Coins, European Chocolate Truffles and Cinnamon Star Cookies, along with a sneak peek of the European cookies hitting shelves in mid-December: Jaffa Cakes, crispy Speculoos and Hazelnut Biscuits.
  • Aldi Fresh Board: Featuring a selection of fresh strawberries, raspberries, mangos, pineapple, peppers, carrots and tomatoes in the Aldi logo.

Chalet attendees can also capture the experience through an interactive photo booth and receive a personalized engraved gift

There are multiple time slots both days from 3-8 p.m. CT at Loft on Lake, 1366 W. Lake St. in Chicago. To get a free ticket, RSVP through Eventbrite. Space is limited and tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Those who can’t make it to the chalet can recreate these boards at home by visiting the Aldi DoorDash page for a full list of products. Shoppers can enjoy $10 off their purchase of $40 or more throughout December.
