Trader Joe’s Jarlsberg Cheese Review
The timestamped video above contains my complete tasting reaction. Jarlsberg is an approachable option for shoppers who want more character than a very mild sandwich cheese without moving into a strongly pungent style.
Best Ways to Use It
Layer slices into sandwiches, burgers, grilled cheese, or breakfast sandwiches. Add cubes to a snack plate with crackers, apples, grapes, and nuts, or melt it into an omelet. Letting a serving portion warm slightly can make its aroma and texture easier to appreciate.
Is It Worth Buying?
At the reviewed price, compare the package weight with other sliced or block cheeses you regularly buy. It is a versatile choice if you want one cheese that can cover lunches, cooking, and entertaining.
