Extreme Eaters Test Every Trader Joe’s Cheese

I’m never buying cheese again, lol
We purchased every cheese available at a Trader Joe’s to eat and determine which single variety was worthy of pitting against, what we’ve always believed to be, the greatest cheese product known to man.
Between every food challenge, mukbang, cheat day and taste test video we’ve created over the years, never have the majority of these cheeses been sampled or featured so this was a lot of fun for us to experience!
Regardless of our findings after embarking on this ludicrous eating endeavor, we hope you enjoyed the video and, if you did, please be sure to give it a Like and subscribe if you’re new to our eating show!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

There is so much going on here! Buying all of the cheese, unwrapping and setting up each cheese board, filming close ups of each cheese, eating said cheese and then editing it all together into a 16 min video. So much work! Truly dedicated!

[@Caroline.martin]

It's expensive making those videos, so here's a small contribution towards your amazing work. Much love guys ❤❤

[@TheTakedownTwins]

😭 It seriously means the absolute world - THANK YOU!! Sending much love right back to you, Caroline!

[@MJfromdaO]

key word "small"

[@tiktoks4yall_.]

@@Caroline.martinhe meant you didnt donate that much

[@MJfromdaO]

additionally youtube takes 30 percent of the donation so you donated less than a cup of coffee

[@Edo-fb5qu]

@@MJfromdaO but what did u donate?

[@kaylateeuwen]

As a cheese lover, I’m kind of jealous that you got to just sit down and snack on all of this

I’m desperately waiting for the next upload !! Love y’all ❤️ you’ll always have my support !!

[@thectk1000]

Such a simple idea but all the time and effort is clear as day. Amazing set up, presentation and categorization. Now what if you could incorporate that apricot stilton into a cheesecake? Really loved this one!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Ah, we’re so glad you enjoyed it and we appreciate all the kind words!! We definitely invested a ton of time and effort into it so it truly means a ton 🙏 White Stilton Apricot cheesecake is gonna have to happen! 🔥 So glad you enjoyed!

The detailed tasting notes on each cheese… I feel classier just watching this! All we need is a little wine and this is a very fancy Wednesday evening. …which is good considering how much it cost. We honor your wallet’s sacrifice 😅

[@TheTakedownTwins]

This is the boujiest video we’ll be posting for a while, that’s for sure 🤣

[@Viniballet]

I love your videos and enjoy so much how creative they are. I’d love if you guys did a mukbang series where you guys buy a type of cuisine to eat and talk about whatever topic you guys want to talk about and share with us a bit about yourselves. ❤️

[@hcblue]

I love cheese, and this episode speaks to me. Rock on, dudes! 🤘🏽

[@ristavauza6036]

SAME HERE!!!!!🙌🏼

Love this video. Many cheeses at Trader Joes are seasonal, you will need to make a part 2.

It sure was! And thanks for the love! They are new 😊

As a JWU student I fell in love with Rhode Island. Hard to believe it’s 15 years now since I graduated and moved back to the Caribbean, 15 years!! Feeling olddddd. Anyhow, I would love love love to see you guys do a RI food vid: stuffies, clam cakes, Dell’s, dough boys, anything from Federal Hill, Pastiche and Matunik ❤ oh mannnn I’m hungry now!

This was a good video. I’m glad you guys had a video today. I always look forward to watching them. That was a lot of cheese 😂

[@ryanm2624]

Great video! Love the original content! Have you guys ever had topher? Considering the sweets you often enjoy, I have a feeling you both would love it! Most stores sell standard tophers, but he's best if you have him in his specialty form.

Hello boys.... Feels like forever since I watched a new video. I have a new item for you both to try. It's the REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup cookie from Arby's. I'm not a fan of peanut butter desserts but I do like a good peanut butter cookie. Arby's is delicious.... The texture is amazing... PLEASE try it... We all know how much you both love REESE"S...

[@moondreamer1677]

im lactose intolerant but i would still absolutely DEVOUR that lemon ricotta in a heatbeat

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Some things are just worth the repercussions! 😅🤤

[@lemondedetr]

PS: As a Spaniard with a dad who has been rating cured spanish cheeses for more than 3 decades, it is quite funny to watch and see you guys say "dry", whereas when I've been to the US, every cheese (FOR ME, don't get me wrong) doesn't even taste like "real" cheese. I guess it depends on your upbringing and country (Spain, France, Italy, US....) of origin.

[@Elliot226]

As someone who is lactose intolerant and has ulcerative colitis...this video is my personal hell. I can't even fathom. But I never knew there were so many kinds of cheese with stuff in them. Fascinating.

[@ChaiMeiLan]

I’m a big fan of both the caramelized onion and the apricot Stilton!

Always means so much, Caroline!! We’re so happy you enjoyed it and, as always, we couldn’t appreciate the love more! 💙

[@SamWhite-ru6oq]

Can't believe you sipped Prime at the beginning!! Prime tastes like a cocktail of every sugar known to man, mixed with every chemical known to man with a pop of color. 😵‍💫 However, amazing assessment of all the cheeses! You guys are amazing. I was so pumped with a new video today!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Hahah, yeah that stuff is SWEET 😅 Unsurprisingly enough we do actually enjoy a couple of the flavors for that fact lol

[@katrinagelinas4869]

I love cheese so much!!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

The cheese love is REAL over here 🤩🧀

[@depechebeckas1]

I love the Unexpected Cheddar cheese from Trader Joe’s (not the spread). Fyi, they have a cranberry Stilton during the holidays that I think is better than the apricot Stilton.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

as a Cheese FANATIC, i am DROOLING over here! i wish i had that kind of money to spend on Cheese, not to mention a Trader Joe's nearby.

[@guidodavi6824]

had to wait to watch the video but as always love you guys and your content!!!!

[@Tastefan1]

You are regular cheesemongers. Thank you for putting my favorite food in the spotlight. There is no whey cheese could dethrone dessert for you guys. You gouda brie kidding me that you aren't at a million subs at least. Maybe you could do the best Subs in RI Video? I know that compared to sweet foods this would be sub-par, but as a Massachusetts resident, I have to know where the good sub shops are.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Love us some good subs! 😋 (and some good puns 😆🔥) Much love from your neighbor state!

[@leacasano-boris6984]

You guys are the best KZbinrs on the app. The quality of the videos, clear time and effort, and love you have for it - I don't know how you don't have millions of subs. I rewatch your vids every day. Thank you for this awesome video!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Seriously appreciate the love! Definitely not the best in the game but we’re trying our best so thank you 😁 Much love!

I’m from the UK & I used to be a cheesemonger (yes it’s a real thing haha) You guys have great taste, the most popular ones I sold was the ginger & apricot Stilton as well as Wensleydale & cranberry. Especially over the holidays, they sold out real fast. Love your content, it’s so much fun :)

As a french, i gotta say.... may you one day wander into the cheese aisles or our producers (or european for that matter) so you can experience it all truly 😂 Honestly many of these are not considered cheese at all here but there are some goodies i was not expecting to see! From the bottom of my heart though, if you have to eat that much please please pair it with sourdough bread and not crackers.... you'll do yourselves a favour 😂😂😂 cheese will blossom on your tongue without harassing your throat and your nose!

Asiago with Rosemary and Olive Oil sounds amazing.... I am a real pushover for Baked Brie myself. There's a cheese conveyor belt restaurant in the Seven Dials Market in West London "Pick and Cheese" where you get 75 minutes of unlimited cheese (and charcuterie). You would be the best people to select the menus there!

British food is often unfairly mocked but we have more cheese varieties than any other nation. And here, the top ones were the fruity stiltons and the caramelised onion cheddar - all varieties originating from the UK... It's about time the reputation was fixed
