Cheddar with Scotch Bonnet Chili and Red Peppers. Here we have young cheddar. It's infused with spicy scotch bonnet chili relish and sweet red bell pepper. What I'm looking for is actual heat. If you tell me you're making a pepper cheese, I want it to be spicy. It's very vinegary smelling. Okay, that's pretty spicy, honestly. No joke. I don't really get the sweet red pepper at all, but I get the spicy pepper. The one drawback is the texture is very weird. It's mealy, sort of smushes down in your mouth in a way that I don't really care for that much. There aren't many cheeses that really deliver on the promise of spice the way this one does, but I've definitely had spicy cheeses with better texture. Final Thoughts My top seven cheeses of the day in recommended tasting order are Chevre with Fine Herbs, Fromage Pave, Goat's Milk Gouda-Style, Mini Basque, Unexpected Cheddar, Thousand Day Gouda, and Blue Stilton. The Chevre with Fine Herbs, I loved for the bright, fresh, and unexpected herbaceous blend. Fromage Pave, for that extra hit of cream, insane butteries and whisper thin rind. Goat's Milk Gouda-Style is an amazing introduction to the wonders of aged goat milk cheeses. Mini Basque shows you the world of sheep milk cheese beyond Manchego, coconutty and mellow. Unexpected Cheddar, because seven years of Trader Joe's customers can't be wrong. Parmesan and cheddar go really well together. The Thousand Day Gouda was probably the best one overall. It reminded me of vanilla, bourbon, caramel. The flavor went on forever. And Blue Stilton, because I think every cheese plate needs a blue cheese, and this one was amazing, minerally balanced, and not at all overwhelming. Trader Joe's kills it at all of the fundamental cooking cheeses, but where they really shine is in curating an amazing assortment of cheese 101 classics. You can put together a great cheeseboard any night of the week at an insanely good value.
