Included as part of its March Spotlight Cheese showcase, Trader Joe's new Irish Cheddar Cheese with Irish Whiskey offers a taste of Ireland in two different ways. The new cheese is made by a seasoned creamery in Ireland, which creates a unique Irish cheddar that's subtly flavored with authentic Irish Whiskey. This alcoholic inclusion gives the cheese a delicate oaky taste and some lightly fruity notes, that perfectly complements the slight tang of the cheddar. Perfect for a [St. Paddy's Day charcuterie board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-red-leicester-cheese), or a perfectly melty grilled cheese, Trader Joe's new Irish Cheddar Cheese with Irish Whiskey is a must for March.
