Smoked Cheddar Cheese with Paprika
"One of the things we love to do is locate an expert cheesemaker and see if we can work with them to create a new cheese that will only be made available at Trader Joe’s. Such is the case with this Smoked Cheddar Cheese with Paprika! In fact, our skillful Wisconsin cheesemaking partners have never made a cheese quite like this one before…
This Cheddar starts with pasteurized cow’s milk, salt, cheese cultures, and microbial enzymes—making it a cheese okay enjoy for vegetarians. The finished fresh cheese is cold smoked over applewood with a temperature never reaching above 40°F. Then, it’s matured under controlled conditions for no less than two years. Finally, paprika is added to the rind, lending it an eye-catching orange hue.
The white, orange-speckled cheese has a bright, lactic, smoky aroma. Its texture is crumbly and firm, while its sharp flavor is balanced by a smoky, floral finish. Can you imagine a hearty slice of this Cheddar on a cracker? Or how about melted on your freshly grilled burger? No need to make believe! This Spotlight Cheese is available through the month of May."
