Salted caramel in the 472ml pot, the same format Gianni's uses for its cookie dough. The flavour depends on where the salt sits. Blended evenly into a base it reads as faintly savoury and little else, whereas concentrated in a caramel swirl it arrives in bursts, which is what makes the pairing work at all. Salt also suppresses bitterness and sharpens sweetness, so a small amount changes the whole tub rather than adding a note to it. Caramel turns up across this part of the freezer constantly, which puts the weight on execution rather than novelty. Aldi sells salted caramel in both its ice cream ranges, so this one sits alongside the larger Gianni's tub and the Specially Selected version.
