Sometimes, to make something truly great, you’ve got to do it by hand. Just ask the cheesemakers behind Trader Joe’s Rutland Red Leicester. Based in the county of Leicestershire in the United Kingdom, these experts prepare each batch of Rutland Red by hand-coating the blocks of cheese in butter, then hand-wrapping them in cloth before leaving them to mature. As the cheese ages, the cloth seals in the butter, and the butter keeps the cheese moist, resulting in a super crumbly cheese that simply melts in your mouth.

From its striking red-orange hue (courtesy of annato, the same natural dye used in orange Cheddars) to its mild, caramel-y flavor, TJ’s Rutland Red Leicester possesses all the unique, delicious, and versatile characteristics you want in a special, seasonal cheese. It adds visual flair and savory sophistication to a charcuterie board, brings a delightful and somewhat spooky something extra to mashed potatoes and omelets, and pairs perfectly with a good I.P.A. or ale. But if this big Red sounds appealing, you’ll have to snack fast—just like fall, this limited-time Leicester is fleeting.
