Review: Snowdonia Cheese – Red Devil

December 19, 2009 by Becs 3 Comments

Snowdonia Cheese Company Red Devil

I bought three cheeses from Snowdonia cheese when I found their stand in the food hall at the Norfolk Show. They make gorgeously waxed cheese truckles which taste as good as they look! I sampled all of them and settled upon Green Thunder (with garlic & herbs), Ginger Spice (with bits of stem ginger) and Red Devil (with chilli’s and crushed pepper). I loved all of them and they all taste great on biscuits and I used Green Thunder with some tomato and pasta dishes. But for me, Red Devil was an instant favourite, and the one I nibbled through first.

Red Devil has just the right blend of spice to ensure it’s not overpowering and remains completely morish. I have found that it makes the most incredible tasting cheese on toast and melts well. The cheese is mature but allows the additional seasoning to mix well with it.

I decided I just had to have some more of this cheese myself, and when my chiller boxed arrived by next day delivery, I was super excited to taste it again. You can order cheese from the Snowdonia Cheese online store and it costs £5 for overnight delivery in a chiller box. The minimum order value is £21 or 6 truckles.

    We discovered the cheeses at a food fair in London a few years ago. Yum yum! We bought some direct from the Snowdonia Cheese company for our Christmas spread too a couple of years ago.

    And we are lucky to have a local independent butcher who stocks it too – handy when you don’t really want to buy six on the go. Beware though there are other producers who wrap their cheeses in eye catching colours. not saying theirs are inferior of course.

    The first one I really enjoyed was the purple one, pickle power I think it was called. Slivers of silverskin pickled onion in it. OMG maybe I’m going to have venture down the high street tomorrow.

    […] I’d always avoided this place, but I’m so glad I went in. From the outside it looked a bit too “health food shop” for me, but inside there’s an amazing range of delicious organic and healthy foods including foods for people with special dietary requirements. They have a mouthwatering array of cakes and and breads, ready meals and meats. I also found they sell my favourite cheddar, Snowdonia Red Devil. […]

Hi! I'm Becs, one half of a newlywed couple from Leeds. I really love baking and a lot of the things I make are dairy-free since Mr LTT is dairy intolerant. Sometimes I make healthy stuff too. My desert island food would be dim sum!

Lay the table has now been running for 6 whole years! I can't believe it. Read More…
