[Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canestrato-pepato) is here to help you add a little heat to your next cheese board with its new Fromage Pavé Red Chili Pepper.

As you might have guessed from the name, Trader Joe's Fromage Pavé Red Chili Pepper is a [soft-ripened French cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-triple-creme-brie) made from cow's milk. To achieve the cheese's creamy texture, the milk undergoes an ultrafiltration process, which involves removing the whey before the cheesemaking process begins. This causes the cheese to ripen faster, resulting in an incredibly creamy texture after just two weeks.

Beyond the texture, what really sets this cheese apart is the tongue-tingling triple threat of jalapeño, cayenne, and red bell peppers. The peppers not only add a fiery kick, but they also give the cheese a distinct red hue that will make it a standout on any plate.
