Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
The pros: Trader Joe’s Shredded Swiss and Gruyere Cheese is tasty cheese blend already shredded, freezes well, can be used for so many items. Would likely make a good cheese crisp for a salad or snacking. I had some shredding slip off of my grilled cheese sandwich, they bubbled up and were quite tasty (the grilled cheese was good too).
The cons: Nothing noticeable.
The verdict: …
The pros: Trader Joe’s La Fondue is a solid choice in fondue and an even better value than going out to have fondue. Fondue in most restaurants is a very expensive experience. For the amount of product you get here this is an excellent value. Decent shelf life for a cheese product. Container is re
The cons: Put something under this in the microwave as mine overflowed in the first 2 minutes. How are there 18 servings? I think they meant you can dip things in there about 18 times. In other words, this is a calorie bomb, but then again anything melted cheese usually is. Sigh.
The verdict: …
The traditional Cubano is swiss, ham, pork, mustard and dill pickles on a buttered roll that has been pressed for your culinary senses. Trader Joe’s Cubano Seasoned Wrap takes the same concept and throws in on a tortilla and called it a wrap. While it’s in the refrigerated case, it should be heated up somehow to get the cheese a bit melted (either with a panini grill or microwave). It’s awesome as long as you don’t look at the calorie count. It is among some of the most caloric of the wraps. For $3.99 you’ll be hard pressed to find a sanwich this cheap at your local deli.
The Pros: So many porky levels of delicious.
The Cons: The calorie count. If you are dieting this could wipe out a third to half of your calories a day. If you are not counting calories, the con would be they are frequently sold out. It is on the salty side.
Verdict: …
