Try Trader Joe’s Strawberry & Black Pepper spread with an aged cheddar, Rhubarb & Vanilla Bean with a mild creamy cheese, and Mango & Yuzu with a fresh cheese or plain toast. These are starting pairings for the three labeled jars in Trader Joe’s 3 Spreads for Cheeses & Toast set. Taste each jar before deciding how much to use.
Make three small bites before building the board
- Strawberry & Black Pepper: Try a dab against the salt and firmness of aged cheddar. Use a plain cracker so you can taste the pepper.
- Rhubarb & Vanilla Bean: Start with a mild creamy cheese so the spread has room to come through. It also works as a breakfast-style toast pairing.
- Mango & Yuzu: Spoon a little beside fresh cheese, or start with plain toast to taste the fruit on its own.
Give each jar its own spoon
Use a small spoon for each spread and put the cheese and toast in separate areas. That makes it easier to compare the jars and avoids mixing the flavors inside them. Start with just a little spread on each bite. If you are serving guests with ingredient restrictions, keep the original jar labels visible.
