On the website it states that it’ll be available for a “limited time” only.
The cheese was created when Trader Joe’s partnered with a cheese maker in New York to make a variety with a “distinct, green-herby character.”
The shop wanted it to “justify its Green Goddess Gouda name” – and it appears to have been a hit.
When social media user Trader Joe’s list found the tasty treat back in stores and featured it on their page, many shoppers were overjoyed.
One wrote: “OMG GREEN GODDESS CHEESE IS THE BEST!!! I’m so glad it’s back!”
Another added: “IS THE GREEN GODDESS GOUDA BACK?!?”
And a third commented: “my favorite.”
The Trader Joe’s website states: “This Gouda is actually a blend of two goudas; one milder, and one that’s aged and a bit sharper.
“The smooth, flavorful cheese base is blended with a pesto (created separately) that includes olive oil, avocado oil, onion powder, and several dried alliums and herbs, such as minced garlic, scallions, chives, basil, and parsley.
“The result is a herbalicious, smooth & nutty cheese that very tasty on its own.
“It also melts quite well, so you can put our Green Goddess Gouda on your panini, your burger, or even in your mac and cheese!”
The origins of the green goddess date back to 1923, according to Trader Joe’s.
They claim a hotel chef in San Francisco wanted to pay tribute to an actor friend who was starring in a play by William Archer called “The Green Goddess.”
He made a “creamy, green-tinted salad dressing”, which Trader Joe’s picked up on with their own version.
They then created a Green Goddess Dip, before expanding this to the cheese.
