Egg-citing news as Offaly's Ella named Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer

ELLA

Lucky Ella has a tough job this week as the chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer

Egg-citing news! Ella McDonald, 7, from near Tullamore, has been named as one of Aldi’s Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officers.

The competition, which was launched in March, saw Aldi invite chocolate connoisseurs from around the country to submit a short audition video explaining why they should be considered for the “world’s sweetest job”. 

Aldi can confirm its inbox was choc-a-bloc with applications but ultimately Ella was selected based on her egg-ceptional qualifications! The primary school pupil is a confirmed chocolate aficionado and loves nothing more than accompanying her parents on their shopping trips to Aldi to pick out her favourite chocolate. 

Ella, along with two other lucky winners, including Sarah McShane from Co. Cork and Natalia Kostecka from Co. Limerick, received a selection of Aldi’s Easter Egg range to sample, taste, and review. In eggs-change for these Easter goodies, the Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officers will offer all-important feedback on taste, texture and appearance that will help shape and inform next year’s range.
