Here to add some heat to sandwiches, charcuterie boards, or homemade mac and cheese, Trader Joe’s Spicy Buffalo Cheddar combines the savory splendor of a classic Cheddar with the satisfying spice of buffalo wing sauce. It’s crafted for us by a specialty cheesemaker in upstate New York (just a little ways away from the city of Buffalo, itself), who mixes their Cheddar with hot sauce and bits of jalapeño, habanero, and dried red pepper flakes, providing a piping hot pop of flavor in every bite. Hot enough for all the heat-seekers out there, but not so blazing as to turn away any casual fans of capsaicin, our Spicy Buffalo Cheddar is a fun, fiery cheese with practically endless uses.

Try melting a slice of Buffalo Cheddar on a smash burger, or shredding it and serving it over hard shell tacos for some extra spice. It adds peppery panache when incorporated into salads, soups, or baked potatoes, and pairs beautifully with spicy cuts of Calabrese salami or pepperoni. Just don’t let our inventory burn out before you get a chance to try it, because supplies are limited, and a deal this red-hot won’t last for long!
