Red Storm: The Welsh Cheese We Can’t Stop Talking About
This gorgeous vintage Red Leicester from Snowdonia Cheese Company in Wales has become a fast new favorite at Dobbs & Bishop and for good reason.
What Makes Red Storm Special?
Red Storm is aged longer than your typical Red Leicester — up to 18 months — which gives it:
A deeper, richer flavor
Natural caramel notes
A firm but creamy texture that holds its shape beautifully
It’s one of those cheeses that feels familiar at first bite, then keeps unfolding.
Nutty, savory, a little sweet, and totally addictive.
How to Enjoy It
Red Storm shines in just about every situation:
On a cheeseboard — It adds color, personality, and a crowd-pleasing flavor
In grilled cheese — Melts perfectly and brings a punch that cheddar can’t match
With pasta — Think mac and cheese, where the flavor really comes alive
Paired with wine — Try a medium-bodied red, Welsh ale, or even dry cider
Add chutney, fig jam, or grainy mustard and you’re in business.
Why We Love It at Dobbs & Bishop
We taste a lot of cheese and every once in a while something stands out from the crowd.
Red Storm always does.
It’s bold without being bossy
It works for kids and serious cheese lovers alike
And it looks stunning on a board thanks to that signature red wax
If you’re building a cheese spread for the weekend, want a new favorite to grate into dinner, or love discovering cheeses from the UK, Red Storm belongs on your list.
