Apply now to get a slice of the action and be one of the first to review Aldi Scotland’s pie range.

The winning application to be treated to a year’s worth of free pies from Aldi.

A unique position has opened at Aldi Scotland to become the supermarket’s first ever Pie Taster.

The supermarket is serving up the opportunity ahead of the roll out of its latest specials range of 11

pies which capture Scotland’s distinctive flare for food and drink, and will launch across all 109 Aldi Scotland stores on 6 March, during British Pie Week.

With a range of intriguing fillings, from Kebab to Meatball Marinara,  Salt & Chili Chicken Curry  and Chicken Chasni, shoppers are urged to act quickly to avoid missing out, with pies in stock for a limited time only.

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 inform the selection of Aldi Scotland 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: https://www.aldi.co.uk/scotland/pietester
