Trader Joe's is helping you step up your cheese game with its new Italian Lagorai Semi-Soft Cheese.
As the story goes, an anonymous dairy farmer in the Eastern Italian Alps discovered a step-by-step cheese recipe on the back of an antique wooden spoon. The end result of that recipe is Formaggio Lagorai, which is exactly what Trader Joe's has just released. Working with a supplier in the Lagorai mountains of Trentino, Italy, this new product actually follows that same recipe found on the back of that spoon. The cheesemakers start with milk from cows that feast on Alpine grasses, then they ship it to artisans who filter and chill it. Finally, the crud is ripped on pinewood shelves and washed weekly until it matures. The end result is Italian Lagorai Semi-Soft Cheese, which has a delicate texture and mild taste.
