The article explores the diverse world of cheddar cheese, specifically focusing on its various styles from creamy to sharp. It emphasizes the ease of finding cheddar in American grocery stores while acknowledging the challenges in selecting the best variety for specific recipes. The author shares a ranking of 10 different cheddar cheeses tasted, with particular commentary on Trader Joe's Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar Cheese, which, while not bad, lacks the expected sharpness and flavor profile, leaving it in a mediocre space between styles.
Trader Joe's Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar is far from my favorite...because it inhabits some space between a creamy, mild cheddar and a crumbly, sharp one.
Compared to most of the other sharp cheeses...there's a hint of bitterness there, but if you like an especially sharp cheddar, this one is likely to be a disappointment.
