Is there anything Trader Joe’s can’t do? The store is a haven for everything from produce to skincare to seasonal goods, and its cheeses are no exception. TJ’s cheese department offers a unique collection of affordable, artisanal, and international cheeses that are perfect for everything from charcuterie boards to late night snacking. Whether you’re a fan of cheddar or prefer classic European varieties, you’re sure to find something to satisfy your cravings. Here are a few of our favorite Trader Joe’s cheeses.
Cheddar & Gruyere Mélange
This delicious blend of two classic cheeses combines the smooth, slightly sweet flavor of Gruyere with the sharp, tangy taste of cheddar. It’s an amazing option to add to any cheese board or as part of a fun and flavorful homemade mac & cheese.
Parmigiano Reggiano
Trader Joe’s Parmigiano Reggiano is a premium Italian cheese that gets aged over a period of 40 months before it hits the shelves. It has a rich, nutty flavor and a crumbly texture that makes it ideal for grating over pasta or salads. It’s also great as a standalone cheese, paired with a glass of red wine, of course.
Italian Truffle Cheese
For a cheese that feels seriously luxurious, be sure to try Trader Joe’s Italian Truffle Cheese. It’s a young cow’s milk cheese infused with both black truffle oil and truffle pieces that, together, create a rich and earthy flavor that’s still mild enough to be at home on any cheese plate.
