Transylvanian Hard Cheese - Soaked in Red Wine

This cheese that was a Aldi exclusive sold under ALDI’s Happy Farms brand and is only available around Halloween.

This cheese is pale yellow, firm wedge and made in Transylvania, Romania then aged in salt caves. It is a cheddar style with a mild sharpness. It is slightly granny in texture and very salty.

The flavor of the wine is only in the rind and does not penetrate through out the cheeses itself.

The rind flavor with the wine is reminiscent of a merlot or cabernet in that there are distinct dark berry notes and oak in flavor.
