Fancy French Cheese Slices

Trader Joe’s French Fromage Slices Make It Easier to Enjoy Fine Cheese

— February 17, 2019 — Lifestyle
With Trader Joe's French Fromage Slices, you'll never have to struggle to cut into a big wheel of cheese again.

Trader Joe's newest cheese product is a "traditional, soft-ripened, full-flavored French cheese," with a creamy mouthfeel and a mild taste that is similar to Brie. But unlike other French cheeses, the cheese comes in the form of pre-cut slices, instead of one giant block. That means it's easier than ever for consumers to add full-flavored French cheese to sandwiches, burgers, and more. As Trader Joe's points out, the French Fromage Slices pair perfectly "with juicy and sweet, tart and acidic, or deeply savory flavors, so the combinations are really only limited by your imagination."

Perfect for your favorite dishes or just for snacking, the new French Fromage Slices make gourmet cheese more accessible to consumers.
