There's arguably only one thing better than cheese, and that's cheese when it comes crumbed and cooked in the oven. Welcome to Aussie foodies' newest obsession, direct from the Aldi chiller: oven-baked crumbed camembert with cranberry dip.

These $4.49 cheesy rounds have been a limited-time-only item at Aldi, coming in and out of rotation. However, social media has recently exploded with glowing reviews, as shoppers rave about how perfect they are for the cold weather.

On seeing a post pop up about the product on the Aldi Mums Facebook page, one shopper couldn't contain their excitement, exclaiming, "Oh yay, it's back!!! It's sooooo good," while another added, "I haven't seen this [in store] in ages. Love, love, love."

Indeed, the chat around this cheese has been building to fever pitch, with comments like, "Are these back?? I search every week! It's been too long! It's soooo good," and "Now I know it's back in store, I'll have to get some... no self-control over here."

But let's get to the heart of the matter...how should these cheesy rounds be enjoyed? One curious shopper asked if they could be eaten cold, only to be met with a resounding chorus of "Cook it! It's incredible" and "Trust me, you want to cook it."

The consensus is clear, these rounds are best enjoyed heated, creating a creamy, gooey, melted centre encased in a crispy, crumbly exterior.

"When it's cooked, it's next level delish," one fan noted, with another chiming in, "These are amazing, especially hot and gooey."

"These are amazing on a burger," another person shared.

The cranberry dip is the perfect complement to the warm, melty cheese, adding a sweet and tangy twist that has shoppers coming back for more.
