Trader Joe's has all your cheeseboard needs covered this summer thanks to the launch of its new Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese.
While The Beatles might have sang "Strawberry Fields Forever," Trader Joe's makes a strong case for blueberries. This savory-sweet seasonal creation is a hard cheese made with raw cow’s milk. The rind of the cheese is then bathed in a blueberry purée, which adds both sweet and tart notes to the cheese. The result is fruity notes that contrast perfectly with the nuttiness of the cheese. Best of all, Trader Joe's Wisconsin-based cheesemaker produces the Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese "in small batches and cures it using top-secret, artisanal methods to achieve its delicate texture – this makes the Cheese ideal for slicing summer cheese boards."
