A SUPERMARKET’S fresh take on a Scottish classic promises to be a big hit.

Aldi has launched an Aberdeen Angus Steak Lorne Sausage made from Scotch beef.

Teaming up with Ayrshire-based We hae meat, Aldi is the only Scottish supermarket to stock an Aberdeen Angus Steak Lorne Sausage.

Aberdeen Angus is renowned for its tenderness and flavour and the Scotch Beef used to create this breakfast favourite is PGI certified, which means the meat is sourced from prime quality cattle born and reared on selected Scottish farms that adopt best practice regarding animal welfare.

Scotland is a nation of Lorne sausage lovers. Aldi estimates to have sold 5,896,004 pieces of fresh Lorne sausage in 2017 – if these were laid out side-by-side it would stretch the entire length of the country from John O’Groats to Gretna Green.

Graham Nicolson of Aldi said: “This is the first Scotch Beef PGI Aberdeen Angus Steak Lorne Sausage to retail in Scotland, and it has already proved a hit in stores! We’ve developed a product that uses the best quality PGI certified Scotch Beef, meaning consumers can be confident they are buying produce of the highest quality.”
