Like its famed forebearer, Fromage Pavé, Trader Joe’s Red Chili Pepper Fromage Pavé is a square, soft-ripened French cheese made from milk that undergoes an ultrafiltration process, ostensibly removing the whey from the milk before the cheesemaking process begins. As a result, the cheese ripens faster—you get a 60% butterfat, double crème Fromage that’s ready to enjoy after just two weeks of aging.

What sets this Pavé apart is its tongue-tingling triumvirate of jalapeño, cayenne, and red bell peppers. Together, they lend a fiery kick of heat and a splash of color to the cheese’s mild and buttery base. If you’re a fan of soft-ripened cheeses and all things spicy, Trader Joe’s Red Chili Pepper Fromage Pavé belongs on your list... and your cheese board. Serve alongside Sliced Prosciutto, Envy Apple slices, and Whole Grain Crispbread. It adds a splendid spiciness to sandwiches, too. Spread our Red Chili Pepper Fromage Pavé on a crusty Organic Baguette, topped with Uncured Salame Di Parma Mild Salami for a pleasantly spicy, simply delicious sandwich. You’ll find seven-ounce squares in our refrigerators while we can keep them in stock.
