I had seen the Trader
Joe’s Apple Cinnamon Goat Cheese advertised on the website and I wanted to
give it a try. The apple cinnamon
coating is what really pulled me in because I’ve honestly never purchase goat
cheese to eat. I’ve had it on pizza, but I feel cooking cheeses sometimes
changes the flavor compared to eating it cold. When I got to Trader Joe’s they were actually
giving out samples of the Apple Cinnamon Goat Cheese near the cheese section. So
I tried a sample and I really enjoyed it ... so I picked up a log.
According to the label the cheese is “A great balance of textures and flavors. Tart, sweet, tangy and creamy.”
I personally didn’t get much of a tart flavor, but I did get the sweet, tangy
and creamy. The cheese itself is very creamy and when paired with the sweet apples
it gives it a tangy quality. I find it’s
really best on a plain cracker that has little to no salt on it. I have had it
on a piece of bread in lieu of a cream cheese and it’s tasty, but I prefer it
more with crackers. It really is a
different and unique snack for me.
A 1 ounce serving, which is roughly 1 inch, is 80 calories
and 2 points plus values.
