Chive Cheddar Cheese

"As we’re well into wedding season, we thought it was an apropos time to share another love story from the Trader Joe’s tasting panel: When Chive met Cheddar! Early in the cheese-making process, fragrant Chives are hand-rubbed on wheels of Irish-style Cheddar Cheese, marrying its semi-firm texture with the delicate allium flavor and verdant hue of the fresh herb. It’s aged a minimum of four months to create the palate-pleasing partnership of creamy, sharp Cheddar and sweet, earthy Chives that truly made our panelists believe in love at first bite. An altogether fantastic fromage on its own, Trader Joe’s Chive Cheddar Cheese also imparts an herbal, savory interest to a myriad of culinary matches. Try it melted with elbow macaroni or on a grilled cheese sandwich, or showcase it on a summer cheese board alongside a handful of Everything But the Bagel Bite Sized Crackers. Why not bake up an appetizing alliance of Organic Deglet Noor Dates stuffed with cubes of this herbal Cheddar? (Warning: it’s impossible to eat just one.)"
