Trader Joe's is bringing the heat this summer with a spicy new Smoked Ghost Pepper Cheddar Cheese.
Made by a renowned Wisconsin creamery that's built a reputation for creating rich and sharp cheddars, the new Smoked Ghost Pepper Cheddar Cheese pairs gourmet flavors with fiery spices. Each batch of the cheese is smoked over hickory to provide a distinctive smokiness and then infused with a trio of hot chili peppers: jalapeño, habanero, and fiery ghost pepper. The result is a savory cheddar that boasts a surprisingly manageable spice level. If you're looking for more heat, Trader Joe's suggests, taking the Smoked Ghost Pepper Cheddar Cheese and topping it with some hot honey or pairing it with spicy meals like a fiery burrito.
