The Emporium Selection brand of goat cheese is exclusive to this German family-owned discount supermarket chain, which has over 10,000 stores in 20 countries.

According to WebMD, goat cheese's benefits are pretty impressive. This food is full of probiotics, which help keep your gut biome healthy and give your immune system a boost, but it also packs in a reasonable amount of copper, Vitamin B12, calcium, selenium, magnesium, zinc, and potassium. Goat cheese also metabolizes faster thanks to its fatty acids, which help the body feel full faster.

Soft goat cheese like Aldi Emporium Goat Cheese should be tightly sealed in the fridge for about 2-3 weeks, but you can freeze these delicious logs of creamy goodness for later use without losing much of its taste or spreadable texture.

Now that you've loaded up with Aldi Emporium Goat Cheese, the fun begins. Goat cheese is a versatile ingredient you can use in various dishes or enjoy simply as a spread on crackers or bread.
