Mar. 15, 2025

Rachel Recchia’s love of cheese knows no bounds!

In the above sneak peek of Monday’s episode,The BacheloretteSeason 19 star and four suitors enjoy a group date in Edam, a town in the Netherlands known for its world-renowned cheese.

Recchia, along with Tino, Tyler, Ethan and Aven, visit Edam’s iconic cheese market, and the men hoist giant wheels of the cheese on their shirtless backs in a strongest man challenge.

“I’m pretty lactose intolerant,” Ethan hilariously shares in a confessional. “But Rachel loves cheese, so therefore, I love cheese.”

As she watches the competition, Rachel confesses, “This is definitely my favorite group date so far. I want a strong man, and I have four today.”

“Rachel’s worth any test,” Tino says. “If I have to smell like cheese the rest of the day, I’m willing to do it.”

Things may be heating up between the pilot and the general contractor.

In an earlier one-on-one date this season, the potential couple wandered through the rainy streets of Paris, taking plenty of opportunities to make out.

“Kissing Tino in the rain, I feel excited again after a really hard week,” Rachel said in an on-camera interview.

“To feel feelings this strong this early on, it’s terrifying because I have been through so much rejection in the past, and if Tino does the same thing to me, that would just be 10 times worse,” she said.

“Your passion for your career, it lights me up inside because I need somebody who has that kind of devotion,” he said.
