The best products at Aldi right now, according to shoppers

On Wednesday, Aldi announced the results of its sixth annual Fan Favorites Awards.

The winners in each category are based on votes from Aldi shoppers in the US – this year the chain collected 37,000 responses.

Here’s what shoppers decided were the best products at Aldi this year, from household cleaning essentials to specialty cheeses.

Shoppers loved the Bake Shop cheesecake sampler

The Bake Shop Cheesecake Sampler won this year in the Aldi Desserts category. It comes in four cheesecake flavors: Classic New York, Tortoise, Triple Chocolate and Strawberry Swirl.

Tricolor peppers won the produce category

In the product category, tricolor peppers received the most votes.

The pack of red, orange and yellow bell peppers is versatile and easy to combine with dips or add to a dish.

Voters loved specially selected aged Gouda

Aldi is a famously great place to go if you want to make an incredible charcuterie board on a budget.

But the “Favorite Charcuterie” category could only have one winner – and this year, it’s specially selected aged Gouda.

Imported from the Netherlands, the cheese is aged for 1,000 days and would make a crowd-pleasing addition to any cheese board.

Clancy’s restaurant-style tortilla chips and Mama Cozzi’s delicious pizza were both delivery favorites

This year, Aldi also introduced a category for favorite game day shoppers to have it delivered to their door. Clancy’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips and Cozzi’s delicious pizza tied for first place.

It’s just another win for Mama Cozzi’s delicious pizzas, which have won so many fan favorite titles that they’re the only item with a place in Aldi’s Hall of Fame.

Aldi’s beef selection dominated the awards this year

Another new category this year was ‘Cozy Comfort’ where shoppers voted for their favorite cold weather essentials. This year’s winner is the Black Angus Beef Steak, which can be used for hearty meals like pot roast or beef noodles.

Another winner in the meat aisle is Aldi’s Black Angus prime rib steak, a top choice for the BBQ.

Shoppers voted Park Street Deli hummus in the Feel Good Pick category.

In the “Feel Good Pick” category, shoppers voted for their favorite “balanced exchange.” This year’s winner is Park Street Deli’s hummus.

This popular gym comes in classic flavors like garlic and red pepper and limited editions including mango-lai sorbet and honey-jalapeño.

They also happen to pair well with other award winners on the list, such as tricolor peppers.

Shoppers chose Little Salad Bar’s Chicken Caesar Salad Bowl as their favorite fast food

Aldi has many quick and easy meals on its shelves – but the best ‘In a pinch’ dish this year was the Little Salad Bar Chicken Caesar.

Each bowl has 16 grams of protein and comes with romaine, white meat chicken, Asiago and Caesar dressing.

Atlantic salmon is the best choice of seafood at Aldi

Aldi shoppers love the brand’s Atlantic salmon, which took the crown for the seafood category. It’s a popular staple whether you’re following a Mediterranean diet or simply craving some seafood.

Aldi’s Atlantic salmon has also won the seafood category in recent years – shoppers particularly loved the Mediterranean herb-rubbed variety in 2023.

Barissimo Barista Cold Foam is a repeat purchase for some buyers

The “Internet Made Me Buy It” category focuses on trending items that shoppers may have seen on social media. This year’s winner was Barissimo Barista cold foam.

Cold foam comes in flavors like sweet vanilla and caramel macchiato and can be spritzed on almost any drink.

An Aldi representative said the product was so popular that the chain had sold around 2 million boxes of it so far this year.

Many shoppers want Huntington Home Swedish dishcloths back on the shelves

In the new ‘Encore’ category, shoppers voted for which limited edition Aldi item they would like to see back on the shelves.

This year’s winner was Huntington Home Swedish dishcloths, a reusable cleaning cloth which was available at Aldi in a range of colorful designs.

Buyers gave the crown specially selected cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley

For years, Aldi has been renowned for its budget-friendly wine selection.

This year, the title of Best Specially Selected Wine went to Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which typically retails for about $15.
