Today is a milestone at Cheese Cheese Everywhere. One month today, Captain Cheese started this blog. In that month, we’ve gone through a name change and a schedule change. We’ve had 21 posts, 731 page views and visits from 12 countries. Thank you to all our visitors from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Poland, Ukraine, Costa Rica, India, Syria (?!?), Germany, Hong Kong and Qatar. Here’s to at least one more month and hopefully many more months and years to come.
In honour of this milestone, we’re going back to a cheese that the Captain tried at the very beginning of the blog but did not have a chance to review…
Red Leicester (pronounced Lester) cheese is a cow’s milk cheese from Leicestershire, England. An interesting fact is that the cheese was originally made on farms in Leicestershire with milk that was surplus once all the Stilton desired was made. It was originally coloured with carrot or beetroot juice. The Red Leicester cheese that I tried was from Oak Manor: Red Leicester
Over the course of this past month, I’ve come to the conclusion that I provide firm cheeses with strong flavours over soft “smelly” cheeses. Red Leicester is one of the ones that I loved. It’s simply excellent. I could easily sit down with the whole block and eat it, haha.
Red Leicester is very similar to cheddar but makes a nice change if you’re getting tired of eating cheddar.
In summary, I’m an investor for Red Leicester!
Stay cheesy!
