Why “English Coastal Cheddar” Has Been My Recent TJ’s Hyperfixation
The cheese to end all cheeses.
Every day around 5 pm, I find myself in the same situation – it’s been a long day at work or school, and I’m in the mood for a quick pre-dinner snack. Now, if I were feeling boring, I could lazily reach into the cabinet, grab a bag of chips, and call it a day. But trust me, after you try this cheese from Trader Joe’s, you’ll be craving it every day. My friends and I have been absolutely obsessed with “English Coastal Cheddar” recently. One fateful day, I put it in my cart out of pure curiosity, and now I find myself purchasing it from Trader Joe’s every single week.
I realized as I was trying to describe this cheese that I really know nothing about cheese. Thanks to the Cheese Library , I now can report to you all that “English Costal Cheddar” is delightfully flaky, sharp, earthy, and rich. Who knew there were so many different descriptions for cheese?
You’re probably still wondering what is so special about this damn cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love all types of cheese, especially the fancy ones. But the thing about “English Coastal Cheddar” is that it really isn’t fancy. It’s just the perfect go-to cheddar cheese, and it pairs delightfully with Trader Joe’s “Savory Thin Mini Crackers.” If you like cheese (or even if you’re on the fence about it), I guarantee you will like this one.
But if you are feeling fancy, or have friends coming over and need inspo for an appetizer, I’ve got you:
I’m no expert on cheese boards, but to give myself some credit, this one was pretty delicious. Even with all these other yummy snacks, the “English Coastal Cheddar” (bottom left) honestly stole the show.
Next time you find yourself at Trader Joe’s, I highly recommend giving this item a try. And as always, let me know what you think in the comments.
