For those unfamiliar, Red Leicester is an English cheese that's similar to cheddar, but with a distinctive red-orange hue and a more crumbly texture. Naturally, Trader Joe's Red Leicester Cheese comes from a supplier in Leicestershire county in England, who carefully crafts, ages, and shapes each batch of its bright orange cheese into a perfectly round little wheel. The result is a mild cheese with a nutty, savory, and delicately sweet flavor profile. While Trader Joe's Red Leicester Cheese makes a delicious addition to any [cheese board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asda-flavored-cheeses), it also pairs perfectly with burgers, makes a great base for grilled cheese, or works as a topping for hot scrambled eggs.
