This is a crime against proper cheese packaging. There is no way this cheese tastes good or like it is even supposed to. Also those are probably $4-6 pieces of cheese so you aren’t even saving much money compared to, say, picking out freshly cut cheeses that you like with a cheesemonger at Whole Foods. (Which is my job and I love it a lot and I WILL fight you about cheese.)

can you guys cut the cheese pieces smaller so i can try a new cheese for less than $15 thank you

Our target cheese cost is $5-7 per chunk, so IDK what is up at your store. Also, you can literally try any cheese you want. It’s our job to get the cheese into your mouth. Also at my WF we have an “under $5” bin which we fill daily with an assortment of whatever we cut. Sounds like you maybe need a better run WF specialty department!

My pro tier tip on the Baby Belles: Before consuming, leave them out unrefridgerated for a bit to come up to room termp. I always ate them straight out of the fridge and while good, they were kinda bland. One day, coming home from church, we missed them while we were putting perishibles in the coolers (I live almost 4 hours from church, gotta bring the coolers and the insulated bags) and found them in the blessed box with the non perishable items. I decided to open one up to make sure it was ok. I was amazed at the creamy texture and flavor after they came to room temp. Now when we get them Ill pull them out of the fridge for an hour or so before eating them.

Turns out you're supposed to do that with lots of cheeses, I didn't know that because good Costco cheese never lasts an hour out of the fridge at my house.

Most cheese should be served at room temperature. ESPECIALLY BRIE.

I think the cheeses are close to expiry, the best by date is only a couple days from now

Notes from a cheesemonger:

At my store, bries like Fromager d'Affinois get a sell-by date of six days after we cut and wrap them. (Whole Foods, not Costco.) But they actually get tastier as the days progress. More intense, if you like that sort of thing in a brie. This particular cheese is super mild, though, and a best-by date of a couple of days away is totally fine. And a pound of it is like two servings, really. Pour some honey on that poo poo and go to town.
