A classic Swiss cheese with notes of toasted nuts and caramelized onions. Melts beautifully.

Iberico cheese is produced only in the province of Valladolid in central Spain. In order to maintain some semblance of order and control of its large cheese production the Spanish government created the Denominations of Origin Certification. This designation controls the name, area, and standards of production to insure a consistent quality product. Iberico is not yet DOC certified but it has applied for certification and hopes to receive it soon. However the dairies that produce this cheese have maintained their own high standards and guidelines since 1987.

Crafted by hand in Nottinghamshire, this Blue Stilton requires about 126 pints of milk to make one 17-pound wheel of cheese, and it comes from one of only six dairies in the world allowed to call their product “Stilton.” The wheels are matured in special rooms where they're hand-turned daily for several months, allowing a natural rind to develop. It’s a mild, pleasantly nutty cheese that’ll convince even the most blue cheese-averse (or at least the wary) that it’s really pretty darn good.

A blend of cheddar and parmasean, salty, and a delicious wine-soaked rind!

Some things are so unexpected we’ve actually named them that way. One thing, actually. Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar. Why Unexpected? Well, it looks like an aged Cheddar. At first bite, it tastes like an aged Cheddar. And then something unexpected happens. The smooth creaminess of the Cheddar gives way to a tangy flavor and slightly crumbly texture, a subtle hint of salt crystallization is discovered, and it begins to taste like an aged Parmesan. Surprising, astonishing, and unanticipated. Unexpected indeed!         

With Unexpected Cheddar, you get the best qualities of hard Italian cheeses and the best qualities of finely crafted American Cheddar.

Double Cream Gouda

Holland is the iconic home of windmills, tulip booms, and Trader Joe’s 1,000 Day Gouda Cheese. It was here that we found the veteran cheese makers who hold the secret to ideal affinage – the art of caring for aging cheese – necessary for aging Gouda for such a prolonged period of time. During the maturation process, the cheese loses close to a quarter of its original weight, as its moisture content slowly but surely evaporates, condensing its naturally salty, caramel-y, and supremely savory flavor profile, without drying out completely. It’s an intricate balance, and one that produces an unbelievably flavorful cheese. 

1000 Day Gouda

The curds of this wonderfully mellow Irish cheddar have been washed in Porter to give a distinct look & flavor. If you like a pint of Guinness you'll love this cheese. Made from pasteurized cow's milk, considered a vegetarian cheese because a vegetable rennet is used. The blending of cheddar with Porter is striking to the eye & easy on the palate. Pebble sized curds are veined w/dark brown Porter beer creating a rich marbled appearance. The porter does not overwhelm the cheddar it contributes depth & meatiness.

This cheese has a nice mushroom flavor, good earthiness without being over powering like some truffle cheeses. The cheese itself was somewhat lacking in character, but its luxurious creaminess is an excellent backdrop for the savory mushrooms.
