Trader Joe's West Country English Farmhouse Cheddar - $5.79 for 7oz. Truckle
Now, there is a good scrabble word! A truckle is a word used in England to describe a small mini wheel of cheese. This intense cheddar comes from Dorset on England's south coast and has been produced buy the same specialized creamery using only traditional recipes, ingredients and slect cows since the mid 1970s. The European Union recognizes this as a “PDO” (Protected Designation of Origin) insuring a very high standard of quality.
Aged for a minimum of six months and full of rich nutty flavor, it is also smooth and creamy making it as good a choice for cooking (think broccoli cheddar soup!) as snacking. This cheese is hand wrapped and tied in decorated cheese cloth and would make a nice, little gift as it but really benefits from a paring with a full-bodied, fruit forward red or port.
