Ale-Infused Cheddars

Trader Joe’s British Mustard & Ale Cheddar Cheese is Made with Real Ale

— February 9, 2021 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's wants you to give your next charcuterie board a little international flare with its new Mustard & Ale Cheddar Cheese.

Few things go together as well as cheese and beer, which makes Trader Joe's new Mustard & Ale Cheddar Cheese a perfect pairing. The cheese itself comes from a small, family-run creamery in the South of Wales, and is crafted according to the Cheddar tradition. However, the unique flavor comes from the unorthodox additions of strong British ale and mustard seeds. Trader Joe's explains that "As the cheese ages (for a minimum of three months), it takes on the classic Cheddar creaminess, which is punctuated here by the subtle crunch of the mustard. The ale imparts a bit of bite to the otherwise mild cheese, and the mustard seeds deliver just a hint of spice." The result is a one-of-a-kind cheese that won't disappoint.
