Jarlsberg Cheese
Trader Joe’s
September 4, 2015
This is what we call in the US, Swiss cheese. However, this time the cheese is made in Norway. So don’t call it Swiss. Call it Jarlsberg.
The cheese is; soft but firm, easy to cut, mild, and tastes like a mild Swiss cheese with sometimes just a very little hint of sweetness. It cuts easily into chunks which are perfect for a cheese tray or noshing. Trader Joe cuts and repackages this cheese from a wheel. The new wrapping is just a bit loose, so don’t store it in your refrigerator too long or parts will dry out a bit. It’s a good cheese and not horribly expensive at $7.49 per pound.
Price $7.49 per pound Calories 100 per ounce (28 g)

Clancy’s Horseradish Cheddar
Kettle Chips – ALDI
If the package wasn’t different I wouldn’t know these were not the same chips as the Trader Joe’s chips reviewed last week. That’s three “nots” in the same sentence. To say it more clearly, these chips seem to be from the same supplier as the similar Trader Joe’s chips, except for one thing, these have more flavor.

ALDI Specially Selected Chocolate Coated Butter Cookies
This is basically just an update on the previously reviewed ALDI chocolate coated butter cookies. For whatever reasons companies do these things, ALDI has renamed and slightly changed the package of these still great cookies. The ALDI “Cafe Bistro” name has given way to the ALDI “Specially Selected” name. Most importantly, the same really really good chocolate coating is still on the same unlikely butter cookie. The combination still makes these one of the best cookies on any grocery shelf.

Trader Joe’s Cheddar & Horseradish Potato Chips
$1.99 wasn’t too much to lose. With a flavor combo like this on the bag, I couldn’t leave them on the shelf. Curiosity got the better part of me. Maybe it was the worst part, because it sure didn’t turn out so well.

Red Hot Riplets
Hot, Hot, Hot!
If these were labeled gourmet or craft chips, we’d easily be paying 3 times their current price. But they’re not. So get them while they’re hot, hot, hot.
