Retailer Aldi UK has unveiled two brand-new flavoured butters under its Specially Selected premium range, designed to enhance festive eating occasions.

The two brand-new options – Ginger & Cinnamon, and Truffle & Parmesan – are launching this month alongside the returning Garlic & Herb.

Ginger & Cinnamon is infused with the aroma of the two classic seasonal spices, described as ‘velvety, sweet and delicately spiced’. It can be spread over waffles and crepes or swirled into festive bakes, designed to enhance a range of sweet dishes.

In the savoury space, the new Truffle & Parmesan variety is speckled with dark flecks of pepper and nutmeg, containing pieces of real black truffle balanced with a hint of parmesan. It is well-suited for pairing with festive cheese boards, as well as drizzling over meat or roasted vegetables.

The Garlic & Herb variety was first introduced in 2023 as a limited-edition option, and is now returning for 2025, featuring aromatic garlic and parsley and lightly seasoned with salt.

All three Specially Selected Flavoured Butters are available in stores from 26 November 2025, priced at £1.99 per 110g block.
