Mini Trader Joe's cheese report.
"Figgy cheddar cheese" (made in the UK). This is pretty tasty, although I am not a huge fan of the soft texture (think play-doh).
This baked sheep's milk ricotta from Sicily looked very promising, however it is completely tasteless and the texture is not pleasant either (it's pretty hard, and dry). I tried toasting it in the oven, adding olive oil and herbs, and it did not help. Useless.
This "Gran Capitan Oliva Negra" from Spain, a hard cheese) has an ok flavor but it is way too boring and went weird/ moldy before I could finish it. The aged (anejo) Manchego at Trader Joe's is a million times better than this industrial-tasting cheese, so don't waste your money on this.
