Advantages: Taste, colour, texture

Disadvantages: hard rind

Being a Leicester girl my mother fed me this cheese at a young age, growing up I was confused why all cheese wasn't orange! Hence I would only eat Leicester cheese until I was a teen! On vacations to France I would cast a suspitious look at people ordering from the cheese cart!

Red Leicester Cheese is a type of Cheddar. I like it when it's soft, and it tastes mellow like a dream on swedish crisp rolls, or melted on toast! People often complain that it's not strong enough, but it tastes very rich.

The worst thing about this cheese is that it comes covered in a sort of dry, thick rind, which you have to cut off to get to the nice bit, also if you leave for a day or two in the fridge you have to do the same - therefore you end up wasting quite a lot! I normally end up throwing it out the window for the blackbirds to eat (they are big fans of Leicester Cheese!)!

I reccommend having Red Leicester Cheese melted on toast, with a splash of Worcestershire sauce!

If you try it and end up hating it you have my permission to take the cheese and take a pot shot at me, but I believe that you will become a fan also!

Summary: A great rich and deep tasting cheese!
