The label for Ivy’s Reserve Somerset Red describes it as “nutty, mellow & moreish,” the latter being a British term that means, “having a very pleasant taste and making you want to eat more.” That’s an enticing endorsement and one that’s proven to be accurate upon your very first taste of this Cheese. Crafted in the style of a Red Leicester, Ivy’s Red is a special edition among Wyke Farm’s variety of Cheddars. It definitely stands out for its burnt-orange color and nutty & fruity notes, which are delivered with a firm texture that is rich, creamy, a bit tangy, and... moreish. All this complexity develops over 12 months of aging, and benefits from the skills of award-winning cheesemakers. By the way, it’s worth noting that Wyke Farms' entire Cheddar-making line is carbon-neutral, meaning that they’ve gone to great lengths to create a process that is sustainable, utilizing natural resources such as solar & biogas to power the entire operation. Pick up a seven-ounce piece of Ivy’s Reserve Somerset Red while you can—you’re definitely going to want to eat more of Trader Joe’s April 2024 Spotlight Cheese!
