A unique position has opened at Aldi to become the supermarket’s Pie Tester, with pie lovers from across Merseyside now able to apply.

The supermarket is serving up the opportunity to celebrate the launch of its latest Specialbuy range of 13 pies which capture Britain’s distinctive flare for food and drink. The new range is now available across all Aldi stores.

With a range of intriguing fillings, from the classic Steak & Ale, Chicken & Mushroom and Cheesy Bean pies, to elevated options like Venison & Merlot, Hog Roast, Stuffing & Apple, and BBQ Pulled Pork pies, shoppers are urged to act quickly to avoid missing out, with pies in stock for a limited time only.

Each pie in the range is carefully curated by local British producers to meet rising customer demand for quality, fresh food and drink which is crafted right here in the UK.

The Pie Tester will go on a roller-cruster ride, as they play a pivotal role in understanding the desirability of each pie, assessing everything from the crust quality and filling consistency to the flavour balance and overall harmony of the ingredients.

Their insights will be shared with customers to help guide them when making that crucial pie-purchasing decision and will be used to help inform the selection of Aldi pies in the future.

To be considered, pie-lovers simply have to provide a short summary of what makes them suitable for the position. As a thank you for their efforts, the final candidate will also be treated to a year’s worth of free pies. To apply, they should visit the Aldi website here.

Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK said:- “At Aldi, we take our pies very seriously. Our range has been carefully crafted to appeal to Britain’s love of pies, combining high-quality baking with much-loved local flavours. Our Pie Tester will have the enviable task of tasting and reviewing the range to help us understand which flavours really hit the spot. If you’re passionate about pastry and serious about sampling, we want to hear from you. No previous pie-tasting experience required!”

Applications to become Aldi’s Pie Tester are now open. More information can be found on its website here.
