The Beatles may have sung the praises of strawberry fields, but Trader Joe's is making a strong case for blueberries with its new Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese.
The perfect addition to any summertime charcuterie board, the new Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese boasts sweet and tart notes, along with a pleasantly nutty bite. The cheese is made from raw cow’s milk and is bathed in a bathed in real blueberry purée, which gives the cheese an inky blue rind. The cheese is also cured using secret, artisanal methods to achieve its wonderfully delicate texture. As Trader Joe's suggests, the new Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese is just as much at home on a summer cheese board as it is melted on a turkey panini or shaved over a spinach salad.
