Triple Creme $13.99 lb

Please read Double Creme $7.99 lb before reading.

Note: In order to not buy the ridiculous amounts of Brie Trader Joe’s has I’ve chosen to buy the cheapest and most expensive options they have. My first impression with this, is the cheese to exterior ratio, it’s beautiful. Moving forward I was reminded that Brie goes well with fruit. I will not be rating based on the flavor fruit adds but I will note on the elevation it brings. I have saved a few small pieces of the previous Brie to do a comparison.

“It’s wonderful” my first thought, a little overwhelmed with trying to write my thoughts. I had imagined Brie to be an enemy because of the previous one, but this is fantastic. The cheese melts on the tongue and the flavor is far better than the old one. This one tastes like actual cheese where the other tasted like an old sock. The exterior; what I was most afraid of doesn’t feel like a separate piece of the cheese but part of it. It melds well with the cheese and the flavor is exceptional. This has crushed my expectations 8/10

Note #2: I’ve thrown out the previous cheese, what was four small pieces only one was eaten. In the start of this I told myself I wouldn’t waste any cheese, because mama didn’t raise a quitter but when you have a dumpster fire of a cheese next to an angel kissed blessing there’s only so much you can do.

Note #3: Fruit is a fine addition but I’m not the biggest fan of mixing flavors, I’d rather eat each individually.

Grilled cheese: this was fantastic, compared to a standard cheddar grilled cheese this was leagues better. The flavor; amazing, the texture; amazing, the after taste; amazing. If this didn’t blow a hole through my pocket this would become my new standard of grilled cheese. To delve further in detail the texture; it was like melted butter, wonderfully smooth. The flavor was unlike anything I’ve had before, it was almost sweet? I almost don’t want to make it with eggs, just so I can use the rest to make more 9/10

Note: the only reason this wasn’t a 10/10 was because while it was good it’s such a huge punch of a one specific flavor that it feels like it’s missing something, still recommend.

Scrambled eggs: unlike the Brie before instead of semi melted cheese cubes with eggs this Brie completely melted into the eggs. I believe it to be a good harmony along side the eggs adding a favorable flavor, texture no change. A good cheese to add but surprisingly nothing notable 6/10

Double Creme Brie $7.99 lb

From the selection of 7 different varying brie I picked one I believe to be on the cheaper/lowest expectation.

The exterior of the cheese is my least favorite part, after eating it leaves a bad after taste. However the interior of the cheese is wonderful, a soft gooey texture with a taste I want when I’m not wanting cheddar cheese. 6/10

Grilled cheese: it’s not like your standard grilled cheese. Imagine you’re eating thick glue… that’s the texture. And when the cheese is melted the weird after taste is amplified, however because of the sourdough the taste quickly goes away, like completely. I wouldn’t make it again however I would make it for someone to try if they liked weird food. Weird but good 6/10

Scrambled eggs: while you can taste the cheese it doesn’t add much flavor at all, you’d do better adding any other cheese.

The exterior of the cheese is gross, awful flavor, awful texture with eggs. Taste is average, adds an unfavorable texture 4/10

Note: while writing down my thoughts the eggs had cooled allowing the cheese to congeal, while not changing the texture at all you get hit with an overwhelming flavor of Brie that does not go well with eggs. I will not change the score because of this.

Note #2: This is a lie. After finishing the eggs my stomach is actively trying to eliminate me, and my mouth is left with the awful amplified version of the after taste Brie leaves you with. While not inedible I do not recommend eating. 2/10

Dutch Smoked Cheese $7.99 lb

Obviously smoked so that’s what you’re going to get. However for my personal taste maybe a little too much. It tastes exactly like a slice of salami, very salty. Texture is like your standard cheese; chewy. I believe it’s wrapped in the same casing sausages are wrapped in. Over all a good cheese not one I’d immediately. Better then average 6/10

Grilled cheese: Mid, the cheese struggled to meat and the taste wasn’t very great 3/10

Scrambled egg: eggcellent, throw in some onion, salt, pepper, the semi melted texture of the cheese and the taste of salami is great 8/10
