Nor does it do justice to how that color is produced. The butterfly is actually not blue.
Trader Joe’s – English Coastal Cheddar – Food Review

Trader Joe’s English Coastal Cheddar
March 18, 2016
This is a very fine cheddar cheese imported from England (Dorset coast).
The cheese has a pale off-white color, not the usual yellow color found in US produced cheddar. This is not a “hard” cheese. It’s relatively easy to cut and a little crumbly. The cheese has a nice nutty flavor with a little bit of a tang. It’s not a sharp taste as might be found in a New York sharp cheddar, but still a very flavorful cheese. It reminds me a little of an aged Gouda, but not as hard. Similar to an aged Gouda you can feel (and hear) a few little cheese crystals crunch between your molars as you chew. Because of the pale color it’s difficult to see them in the cheese. I could easily get to like this. And I do.

Daniele Salame Veneto – Food Review

Walmart of all places, that’s where I found this pretty good salami.
The texture is sort of chewy/rubbery and a little softer than one might expect from a salami like this. The taste has a fair amount of garlic flavor (a good thing in my book) and is otherwise generally good. There’s a little bit of another flavor in there which adds almost a little sweetness (probably the dextrose listed on the label). There is no skin/casing on the salami once freed from its heavy plastic wrapping.
Overall this is a pretty good Italian salami that will satisfy a sudden urge for this type of salami, but not as good as the Volpi salami found at Trader Joe’s and other outlets.

This is a good olive oil. However the recently reviewed ALDI Carlini Extra Virgin Olive Oil is just as good or better for less money.
Trader Joe’s California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not as buttery as either the Carlini Extra Virgin Olive Oil from ALDI or my favorite olive oil, Trader Joe’s Spanish Extra Virgin (also less pricey per ml). There’s not much of an olive taste to this oil as compared with the other two oils. The color and viscosity are about the same as the TJ Spanish oil.
The thing that distinguishes this oil from the other two is some bitterness on the tongue after a few seconds. Neither of the other two oils has that characteristic.

Mama Cozzi’s – Chicken Parmesan Pizza – Food Review – ALDI

Not much chicken, not much cheese, not much sauce equals not much of anything. If you’re hungry and this is the last thing in the store freezer case, go for it. There’s not much more to say.
