Trader Joe's wants to help you elevate your next charcuterie board or cheese plate with its new French Heritage Saint Paulin Cheese.
Saint Paulin is a cheese that was originally created by Trappist monks in France. The cheese is best known for its signature golden-orange rind, which develops as the cheese is washed in brine and aged. The unique cheesemaking technique also gives the cheese a mild, buttery flavor, and sweet, slightly floral aroma. As a result, Trader Joe's French Heritage Saint Paulin Cheese is best paired with sweeter flavors, like fresh-cut fruit or a sweet preserve like fig butter. For a truly gourmet experience, Trader Joe's even suggests slicing it up and adding it to a grilled cheese, panini, or patty melt.
