Trader Joe's is putting a twist on traditional Swiss and Italian mountain cheeses with its new Jasper Hill Vault No. 5 Cave Aged Cheese.
Trader Joe's recently debuted a new cheese called Jasper Hill Vault No. 5 Cave Aged Cheese, which married cave-aged cheese-making techniques with quality milk production. The process of cave-aging the cheese for one year allows a natural rind to form around the cheese's golden center. The result is a buttery cheese with, as Trader Joe's puts it, "delightfully creamy, toasty and savory, with subtle earthy notes." As a result Jasper Hill Vault No. 5 Cave Aged Cheese is perfect for melting on burgers, adding to grilled sandwiches, or simply paired with a glass of wine.
But act fast, the cheese is only around for the month of March.
