The 20 Best Cheeses From Costco
Delish loves all things Costco. We've collectively spent hours wandering the aisles to explore new products, pick up pantry staples, and enjoy a sample or two (or five). We always leave the warehouse with a new favorite snack to add to our rotation.
Buuuuut, we might just love cheese even more. Cheese is one of those foods that you never realize is as expensive as it is until you're an adult. There are few things worse than picking out items for a cheese board only to discover that you're spending nearly a hundred dollars. Thankfully, Costco carries some of our favorite dairy products at a steep discount.
They have award-winning and world-renowned cheeses in their warehouses all over the country. And they're often half the price of what you'd pay at a standard grocery store. You may be used to grabbing a few blocks of cheese on your regular Costco trips. But the department is so vast and varied that you're likely skipping over some sleeper hits.
That's why we've rounded up the 20 best products you can find in Costco's cheese section. So next time you're shopping you can expand your horizons with these Delish-approved picks.

Shredded Mozzarella
We're normally not proponents of using pre-shredded cheese (unless you enjoy the chalky cellulose dust). But if you're hosting a homemade pizza night, no brand compares to the quality and price of Kirkland's shredded mozzarella two pack.
Queso Oaxaca
If you're not on the Oaxacan cheese wave, you should be. This creamy, mild cheese is similar to mozzarella and works well in quesadillas, nachos, and most famously in birria tacos.
Mozzarella Snacking Cheese
Whether you're building a girl dinner or want an indulgent mid-day treat, these individually portioned mozzarella balls are a must buy.
Fondue
Fondue may be a retro food trend, but our love for dipping food into melted cheese will never go out of style.
Medium Cheddar Snacking Cheese
These creamy cheddar squares are like the ones we grew up eating in Lunchables—only way better.
Mascarpone
This rich Italian-style cream cheese can be used to make tiramisu and add richness to pasta sauces—or just eat it with a spoon.
Cranberry Wensleydale
This firm and buttery English cheese is studded with plenty of sweet cranberries. It's perfect for your holiday cheese board.
Humboldt Fog
California cheesemaker Cypress Grove sells their award-winning Humboldt Fog at Costcos all over the country. This ripened goat cheese is soft, tangy, and features a stunning ribbon of ash through the center.
Manchego
Kirkland's manchego transports us to a Spanish tapas bar—but on a budget.
Burrata
Burrata can instantly upgrade a plate of pasta, salad, or weeknight dinner. The creamy mozzarella sold at Costco is worth every penny.
Pecorino Romano
Making a batch of carbonara? Grab a wedge of Kirkland's Pecorino Romano—it's sourced from a certified creamery in Italy.
Goat Cheese
This two pack is the best deal on goat cheese that we've ever seen. There are nearly infinite applications for this fresh, tangy cheese; you can fry it into crispy and creamy croutons, make a batch of bacon-wrapped dates, and even stuff it into dinner rolls.
Gruyère
This savory alpine cheese is super sophisticated. We love using gruyère in a cozy bowl of French onion soup, but we also love just eating it by itself.
Taleggio
If you've never tried Taleggio, the Costco version just may become your new favorite cheese ever. It's soft and savory with a slight funky tang—your charcuterie boards will never be the same.
Double Cream Brie
Kirkland sources their brie from Isigny Sainte-Mère, France, which means it tastes just as creamy and luxurious as the country's most popular brands. But the best part? You can buy it at a fraction of the price.
Dubliner
This iconic cheese from Kerrygold tastes like a cross between cheddar, Swiss, and parmesan. Put it in your next grilled cheese and thank us later.
Feta
We're all about feta. Whether it's whipped, fried with eggs, or sprinkled on a Greek salad, this brined feta will fulfill all of your salty, cheesy needs.
Boursin
Boursin deserves center stage on every cheese board. It's soft, creamy, and packed with plenty of herbs and seasonings. And at Costco, you can get a three pack!
3 Year Cheddar
When it comes to cheddar, we say the sharper the better. And after aging for three years, this Cabot cheddar takes on plenty of savory sharp flavor.
Parmigiano Reggiano
Parmigiano Reggiano is the king of cheeses for a reason. This certified Italian parm comes in massive wedges for half the price per pound compared to supermarket equivalents.
