I love them in water
they and these next to my usual so I though Id try them:
these are a fair bit cheaper and quite nice. you can taste a hint of EVOO but its mostly canola
the seasoning are ' light ' and to not detract from the M.B.'s
very nice.
When I spotted mozzarella balls in water at Aldi this morning, I thought of this post. We have bought the ones in marinade at both TJ's and Aldi and I decided that a little experiment was in order. Here are the ones I got at Aldi (for $2.99), along with a few things I wanted to infuse in the TJ's EVOO. 
I simmered the garlic, rosemary, thyme and bay leaves in oil for a bit.
While it was cooling down, I picked a few sprigs of basil and drained the cheese balls and transferred to another container.
When the oil was cool, I poured it into the original cheese ball container, followed by the cheeses balls and the basil. I will let this stay in the fridge for a while and see how they are.
