Aged Sheep's Milk Cheese Marinated in EVOO

"No need to be sheepish about it: Trader Joe’s Aged Sheep’s Milk Cheese stands out from the rest of the flock—and not just because the fresh Sheep’s Milk is sourced from some of the finest dairy farms in Toledo, Spain. Each block is also marinated in aromatic, PDO Cornicabra Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Aged between three and five months to further develop its characteristic flavor. (Fun fact: cornicabra means “goat’s horn,” as the olives used to produce this revered oil are oval-shaped, with a small horn on one side.) The oil lends a robust, pleasantly bitter flavor and green, grassy aromas, that produce a particularly unique and delicious eating experience when paired with the mild, nutty flavors of the Aged Sheep’s Milk Cheese. Serve this firm-yet-creamy Cheese as an appetizer before the big meal, alongside a bowl of Nuts About Rosemary Mix and juicy Honeycrisp apple slices. Or let a freshly toasted Ciabatta Roll soak up the olive oil as the Cheese accompanies an array of leftovers in sandwich form."
