Publix Premium Carolina Reaper Pepper Cracker-Cut Cheese
What it is
This is a semi-hard cheese infused with the intense heat of Carolina Reaper peppers. The cheese itself is typically a mild, creamy base that serves as a vehicle for the potent spice. It is cut into thin, uniform slices, making it convenient for immediate use in various dishes. The combination offers a unique flavor profile that balances dairy richness with extreme chili fire.
How people cook with it
This cheese is designed for those who enjoy a significant kick in their meals and snacks.
- On crackers
- In grilled cheese sandwiches
- On burgers
- In dips
These cracker-cut slices are ready to be placed directly onto your favorite foods. For a spicy grilled cheese, layer them between bread slices and grill until golden brown and melted. They can also be added to the top of burgers during the last few minutes of cooking to allow them to melt slightly. For a flavor boost in dips, incorporate a few slices and let them soften and meld with the other ingredients. The heat will distribute as it warms.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike cheeses with milder pepper infusions, this product features the Carolina Reaper, one of the world's hottest chili peppers. This results in a significantly higher level of heat and a more pronounced pepper flavor profile. The cracker-cut format also distinguishes it from blocks or shredded varieties, offering immediate convenience.
Who it is for
Cooks and snackers who appreciate extremely spicy foods will enjoy this cheese.
How to keep the rest
