Trader Joe’s Sage Derby is the Perfect Cheese for the Fall Season

Sage is a classic fall ingredient and now you can enjoy this savory herb in a whole new way thanks to the launch of Trader Joe's new Sage Derby cheese.

Trader Joe's Sage Derby cheese is crafted for the grocery store brand by a small, family-owned cheesemaker in Lancashire, England. The cheese is made from a blend of Cheddar curds, aromatic sage, and a little bit of spinach for that extra green coloring. As Trader Joe's describes, "Each wedge has a marvelously marbled, and—if we dare say so ourselves—charmingly festive appearance, ideal for serving on cheese plates of all kinds."

Though the cheese is delicious on its own – especially when paired with a crisp Chardonnay – it also makes a great addition to recipes like savory scones, quiches, or potatoes au gratin.
