# Savory Oaked Chardonnay Cheeses Trader Joe’s New Oaked Chardonnay Toscano is Robust and Nutty By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2020-11-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oaked-chardonnay-toscano References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/oaked-chardonnay-toscano-cheese) [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotswold-double-gloucester-cheese) new Oaked Chardonnay Toscano is just what you need for your next charcuterie board creation. Toscano is a popular cheese with a robust flavor that combines the nuttiness of aged Parmesan with the creaminess of a farmstead Cheddar. The cheese pairs perfectly with wine, which is why Trader Joe's has created a version with the wine blended right in. Trader Joe’s new Oaked Chardonnay Toscano stats with Wisconsin-crafted Toscano cheese made from milk from cows that have never been treated with rBST hormones. Each wheel of the cheese is then soaked by hand in a bright and buttery Chardonnay wine. When the sweet citrus with oak-barrel notes is combined with the cheese, the result is what Trader Joe's calls "a savory masterpiece."
