What’s a good cheese with crystals.?

I’m not particularly fond of cheese with crystals, so don’t buy it too often. But the Red Fox, mentioned upthread is good. It’s readily available in British supermarkets.

Although a Red Leicester, it’s not made in the county but in Whitchurch , Shropshire. Belton Farm makes a wide range of regional cheeses - Cheshire, Double Gloucester, Sage Derby, etc.

If you’re in to Red Leicester, although no crystals, look out for Sparkenhoe which is the best of the genre I know. If you come across the Vintage version, even better. That’s aged for 18 months, as opposed to the 6 for the ordinary cheese, so much drier.
