Guacamole flavoured cheese exists and toasties will never be the same again

Jade Hayden

Or at least, they wouldn’t be if we could get out hands on some of this bad boy.

Chances are we won’t be able to because it’s, surprise surprise, an American thing.

But hey, it still sounds tasty enough if not extremely intriguing so we may as well have a bit of a deep dive, shall we?

The Amanti Guacamole Cheese is a type of gouda sold in a wheel (but can be sliced into wedges and sold by the pound) containing a blend of avocado, lime juice, chilli, tomato, onion and garlic.

So, pretty much all the bits you would expect to find in your standard guacamole mix. Class.

The cheese is also a dull green colour with an even darker green for the rind, meaning that it doesn’t look like the most appetising cheese in the entire world, but it probably tastes alright enough.

Wouldn’t say no, like.

The cheese, which is made by a Dutch company, landed into all of The Fresh Market stores in the US ahead of Cinco de Mayo earlier this week.

May 5 marks the celebrations to commemorate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

The day tends to place a focus on Mexican culture, food, and music, so creating a cheese that is guac flavoured is absolutely what everybody’s going to be gasping for.

Now if they’d just send it our way that’d be class.

Cheers.
