It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means – time for unwrapping the 2023 Aldi cheese advent calendar. Every year Aldi releases an advent calendar packed with 12 different European cheeses perfect for exploring. This year’s calendar includes old favorites like extra mature cheddar and some new friends that I can’t wait to explore.
Each day contains enough cheese to make one single serving of mac and cheese. I will be posting my recipes each day on Instagram with full size recipes here. We’ll be exploring different cheeses, pasta shapes, and toppings that all balance together beautifully and can be recombined for mac and cheese recipes sure to impress.
