Cheeses of England #2: Red Leicester Vintage

Another beauty from Green's of Glastonbury:

In an earlier post, Danny described their blue vein cheddar as "tangy", which I think I agree with, but it was more of a smoldering tanginess, presumably due to the blue cheese component. The red leicester's initial flavor was strong, but not quite as sharp as the cheddar. Its most dramatic characteristic was that I would almost feel my lips tingle after each bite, which I decided was a good thing. The photos are of the end piece, which was especially mature.
