I know what you're thinking, "Green cheese?... I dunno about that." Well, that's what I'm here for. I tried it, I liked it. I'm a big fan of pesto so it works for me, but pesto is really the only flavor you get out of this cheese so steer clear if you're not into it. It's bright, herby and tangy and the cheese melts in your mouth.
How to eat:
I just nibbled on a little bit of it, but I'm saving the rest for cooking. I'm having fantasies of all the amazing pesto-y, melty, cheesy things I could make with it. Like in a grilled cheese sandwich, dipped in tomato soup or melted on top of crostini or crumbled on top of pasta. So many possibilities!
Pairings:
I wouldn't really say that this is a great cheese to do pairings with. It's very strong, and really just tastes like pesto, so I think it's much better to be used alongside things rather then paired with. However, I do think a crisp white wine would be delicious with that pasta dish I mentioned earlier.
Where to buy:
This particular one is Trader Joe's March Spotlight cheese. We purchased a 8.16 ounce wedge for $5.09. When doing my research, I came across a few other brands of pesto cheese that can be found online and at your local grocery store.
