Lidl has unveiled the most exciting foodie advent calendar yet this week and it’s the perfect gift for a turophile, the ultimate cheese lover.

Behind each of the windows in the Ilchester advent calendar lies a perfectly portioned cheesy treat to enjoy after dinner for 24 nights in a row.

Cheese connoisseurs can look forward to a slice of Jarlsberg, Ilchester Cheddar, Applewood, and Mexicana to start.

Later in the month, there’s an Ilchester Red Leicester Cheese to savour, alongside a Double Gloucester, Wensleydale Cheese with Cranberries and a festive Wensleydale Cheese and Gingerbread, to name but a few.

It might be the world’s most perfect accompaniment to the Aldi Wine Calendar, now back in stock for 2019 with 12 mini bottles of white and six red, rosé or six sparkling wines.
