This St. Patrick’s Day, ALDI is going green and showcasing the best of Irish products with the return of previous Grow with ALDI suppliers. From March 13th, shoppers can snap up a huge range of Irish-made food and drink products that have emerged from the hugely successful Grow with ALDI programme.

Grow with ALDI is a supplier development programme which selects the best of Irish producers and gives them the chance to have their products stocked at 163 ALDI stores nationwide. Since 2018, ALDI has invested more than €10.5 million in the initiative, supporting hundreds of small businesses along the way.

With FemFuelz products making a return to stores, this time they are introducing a new and exclusive flavour for ALDI - FemFuelz White Chocolate Whey Protein €16.49. Developed specifically to meet the nutritional needs of women, this Limerick-based female- specific supplement brand participated in Grow with ALDI in 2023. Since then, the company has secured contracts exceeding €1.6 million with ALDI, helping to support its growth and expansion.

Customers can also fuel up with The Sibly Cacao & Orange Energy Ball Pot 2 Pack €2.95. Based in Ballydesmond, Co. Cork, The Sibly Food Co.’s delicious range of energy balls have been a customer favourite since winning a Grow with ALDI contract in 2022.

Elevate your lunchtime sambo with Builín Blasta Smoked Onion Mayo €4.49, a refrigerator must-have which also won a Grow with ALDI contract in 2022 and most recently claimed Gold at the Blas na hÉireann Awards 2024.

Enhance every meal with a pinch of Skillet & Spice Everything Seasoning €3.99, a versatile pantry staple from Co. Carlow from the Grow with ALDI 2024 programme. Sprinkle it over your salad, add to your morning eggs or toss into a stir fry - the possibilities are endless!

Speaking about the launch, Rachael O’Connor, Buying Director at ALDI, said: “At ALDI, we are proud to celebrate and champion the finest Irish food and drinks, working with suppliers all year round to deliver high-quality products at affordable prices. That is why we are delighted to bring back some of the products that have participated in Grow with ALDI just in time for the St. Patrick’s weekend celebrations allowing our customers to sample award-winning Irish flavours and enjoy the taste of home. From award-winning condiments to delicious on-the-go snacks, there is so much to discover and savour!”
