St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and Trader Joe's is gearing up for the occasion by adding its new Irish Porter Cheddar Cheese to its cheese selection.
The new Irish Porter Cheddar Cheese combines two iconic Irish ingredients: porter beer and cheddar cheese. The new Irish Porter Cheddar Cheese takes milk from cows that graze the fields of County Limerick, and combines it with Irish porter (a type of dark beer). The malt in the beer gives the cheese a distinct marbled appearance and a unique malty taste. This makes the cheese the perfect option for a wide variety of dishes, including burgers and sandwiches. Or, you can make it part of a Paddy's Day meal by pairing it with some corned beef or bangers and mash,
