Versatile Norwegian Cheeses

Trader Joe’s Alpeost Cheese is a Sweet, Floral, and Fruity Cheese

— April 10, 2021 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is helping you round out your favorite cheese plate or charcuterie board with its new Alpeost Cheese.

In the green pastures of Romsdalen, Norway, there's a series of dairy farms that produce an incredible cheese from rich cow’s milk. This cheese is called Alpeost, and it's a full-bodied, delectably aromatic cow’s milk cheese. The cheese gets its distinct creamy texture and fruity flavor from a months-long aging process. More specifically, a six-to-nine-month maturation period produces a sweet, floral aroma and makes Trader Joe’s Alpeost Cheese a super versatile addition to any cheese plate – especially when paired with sweet elements like apples or pears. Trader Joe's also notes that the cheese "melts like a dream on hot sandwiches or in dishes like Welsh rarebit."
