Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight is an annual celebration of our best Scottish food and drink - and the chance for Aldi to showcase some of their favourite local producers.Scottish Buffalo Mozzarella was just one of the products launched during the 2021 festival.Aldi’s partnership with Scottish farmer Steven Mitchell began last year when his delicious mozzarella was brought into stores as a Special Buy.

It was so popular with customers that it has now become a core line.Provenance is at the heart of Aldi's ethos and as a responsible retailer, they are committed to sustainable sourcing of their products.Produced in Fife from Scotland’s first herd of water buffalo, this means you don't need to worry about food miles and can enjoy an authentic taste of real buffalo mozzarella, made right here."We're not trying to be authentic Italian, we're authentic Scottish and we're very proud and in terms of flavour, it's up there with the very best cheese in the world," says Steven.Aldi famously supports local businesses and works with more than 90 local suppliers who produce over 450 quality Scottish products in its stores, many proudly boasting industry awards and accolades.So make the two-week festival, from Friday 2 September to Friday 16 September, your excuse, not that you need one, to try some of the fabulous items produced across Scotland - including those featured here - by family firms, artisans, and people passionate about the delicious items they create.Eidyn Gin is the award-winning partnership between Aldi and The Old Curiosity Distillery.

This small batch gin is delighting connoisseurs, who can choose from Eidyn Premium Scottish Botanical Gin or their new slightly sweeter Eidyn Premium Cherry Blossom Gin.
