I bought a package of Asiago and Cheddar cheese crisps at Aldi and enjoyed them while snacking on my parents’ back porch. The crisps are made from sourdough that has been mixed with cheddar and asiago cheese along with savory rosemary and a pinch of spicy cayenne pepper.
My quick review is, “Aldi Cheese Crisps are absolutely delicious and extremely snackable. It is hard to stop eating these until the entire box is finished.”

Taste Test
These snacks are multilayered sourdough crackers with that are loaded with Asiago and Cheddar cheese. The crackers have a wonderful combination of crunchy, cheese and savory that make them a wonderful snack.
The cheese flavor is deep and rich and the touch of cayenne pepper gives them an interesting kick without actually making them spicy.
These snacks are labelled as “crackers” but I do not suggest using them in that manner. By that I mean I wouldn’t want to stack other foods on them or use them as dippers.
I think these are best served as stand alone snacks so people can truly enjoy their crispiness and deep cheese flavor.
These Taste Familiar!
These Cheese Crisps taste exactly like the Cheddar CheeseSticks at Trader Joe’s.
It turns out that the ingredient list is identical between the two products. Given the intimate relationship between Aldi and Trader Joe’s I suspect that these are the same product with different packaging and presentation.
Serving Ideas
Even though I think these are best on their own I did a little digging to see how other folks like to serve them.
One amazing idea I cam across was to crumble them up and then use the crumbs as a topping for a pasta dish. For example, these would be great as a topping for a tray of Costco’s Mac and Cheese.
The crisps would be a welcome addition to any charcuterie board and might just turn out to be the star of the show.
And yes, while I did say that I wouldn’t use them for dips I must acknowledge that they would be amazingly good when dipped in hummus.
Storage
The cheese crisps are shelf stable and do not need to be refrigerated.
The crisps are marked with a “Best By” date that is about three months after your data of purchase. I really wouldn’t worry about the Best By date though as you are going to eat them all in two days.
Price
I bought the 4.5 ounce box of Asiago and Cheddar cheese crisps at Aldi for $2.99.
There is so much flavor bursting out of these crunchy delights that I would have been happy to pay twice as much. But please, don’t tell Aldi that I said that!
