Belmont Digestives Biscuits

What is it?

Wholemeal wheat biscuits with a malty, nutty flavour, these sit in the familiar digestive format: round, lightly sweetened, and built to soften rather than snap. Wholemeal wheat flour gives them more graininess and a drier crumble than plain tea biscuits, with a toasty depth that comes through after the first bite. Sold in a 400g pack under Aldi's Belmont label, they're in the same lane as McVitie's-style digestives but at a lower price point. They work with tea, and they're sturdy enough for cheese or a smear of spread. Dunking holds up well for a few seconds before the biscuit starts to give way, which is about right for this style.
