Trader Joe’s Fans Can’t Stop Gushing Over Its New, One-Of-A-Kind Product

When it comes to Valentine's Day, certain treats reign supreme, no questions asked. Whether it's heart-shaped boxes filled with truffles, a luscious chocolate lava cake for two, or a pink pouch of M&M's, one thing is certain: chocolate and romance have been entwined for centuries, and the pairing is not going out of fashion anytime soon. Trader Joe's surely knows that, because it just released a new treat for the holiday that's studded with chocolate pieces—only it includes some other ingredients that are so unexpected, it warrants a double-take.

Trader Joe's New Sweetheart White Stilton Cheese

While the candy aisle typically gets all the love from shoppers searching for last-minute gifts, Trader Joe's sneaked a Valentine's Day treat into its cheese shelf. Its new Sweetheart White Stilton Cheese features specks of chocolate, caramel fudge, and chewy dried cherries.

TJ's has been known to stir all sorts of fruit into its Stilton cheeses, like cranberries, apricots, and apples, but its latest interpretation offers a flavor and textural experience that's unlike any other cheese we've come across.

"I almost thought this was a mini Trader Joe’s-inspired cake," a Redditor shared on the Trader Joe's fan Reddit.

As a brand that constantly pushes the envelope with its imaginative food creations like blue cheese-flavored potato chips and Caesar Salad Dip, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Trader Joe's packed a cheese product with bits of chocolate and caramel fudge.

Cheese and chocolate is a combination that works extraordinarily well in dishes like Chocolate Santafereño (Columbian-style hot chocolate), chocolate fondue, and cannoli, but throwing caramel fudge and dried cherries into the mix feels kind of, well, superfluous. All these ingredients on their own possess distinct flavors and textures, would they work together in cheese? According to customers who tried the item, it absolutely does.

This is "super delicious and very unique," wrote one user on Reddit. "Would go great on crackers but we just ate it straight up!" added another fan.

An alleged Trader Joe's employee shared that "the cheese does all the work so you don’t want salt or anything! This is how we served it for the crew the other night. [It] has a cannoli-like flavor and is very popular!"

The Sweetheart White Stilton Cheese is a limited-time item that was released for Valentine's Day, so it's hard to say when it will disappear from TJ's shelves. If you're looking for something more unique than the usual box of chocolates to surprise your loved one (or friends), then this cheese will certainly do the trick.
