Blue Stilton cheese from Trader Joe's

17. Blue Stilton

This cheese is very strongly flavored, with an overwhelmingly tangy aftertaste. It's blue cheese only for those who absolutely love acidic blue cheese.
Cambozola cheese from Trader Joe's

16. Cambozola Triple Cream

This cheese blends Camembert and Gorgonzola, which gives it a deep nuttiness instead of Gorgonzola’s classic zinginess. It almost tastes a little artificial.
1,000 day gouda cheese from Trader Joe's

15. 1,000 Day Gouda

This gouda has been aged for three years, making it crumbly and overwhelmingly nutty. With its high price ($8.70,) you’re better off with something more neutral.
Syrah-Soaked Toscano cheese from Trader Joe's

14. Syrah-Soaked Toscano

Toscano is a tangy, acidic cheese. When combined with red wine, it takes on an almost metallic flavor, making it best for someone who enjoys pinot noirs.
Mini Basque cheese from Trader Joe's

13. Mini Basque

This cheese is surprisingly tangy yet muted, only coming through towards the back of the palate. The flavor is strange — almost like a brie without the richness.
