Trader Joe’s – Farmhouse English Cheddar with Italian Truffles – Food Review

by steveo

March 16, 2017

This is another one where it would be way too easy to eat the whole package in one sitting. A very little bit of a smokey peppery earthy taste mixed in with creamy, but not soft, English cheddar is the best description I could come up with. That description doesn’t do it taste justice. It may not be to everyone’s liking, but this is very good.

Of particular note are a couple of the lesser ingredients, anchovy and bamboo fiber. What’s This For? Well I sure don’t know, but whatever the reason the whole seems to work just fine.

At $9.99 per pound, this is in line with similar cheeses at Trader Joe’s. The calories, at 110 per ounce (28g), are also similar to other cheeses.

I’m at a Trader Joe’s right now
It was my favorite cheese
They told me that they discontinued it
So I guess that they made a big mistake
I will not drive a hour to go there anymore

Hi, is the milk used for this cheese pasteurized? It doesn’t say on the package.

Was the truffle flavor strong with this? That’s one ingredient that can overpower just about anything

  Not overpowering in my opinion, but there was enough of it to know this was more than a cheese. I thought the balance worked very well. This is not for people who like only the mildest cheese. But for people who are a at least a little adventurous, this is a very interesting combination.

    Let us know how you like it. And keep in mind, this is coming from a guy who likes anchovy pizza. 😋

Please note the “Like” is for your review, not the cheese. I don’t think I would knowingly eat cheese that claimed chicory fiber and bamboo fiber in its ingredients. 🙂

  Thanks for the like. Unfortunately I read the label after I ate the cheese. Next time I’ll know better. Maybe?
