Red Dragon is a unique variety of Welsh cheese made with pasteurized cow's milk. What sets Red Dragon apart is its combination with ale and mustard seeds, giving it a distinct flavor profile. The cheese is typically aged for three months, during which it develops a firm yet moist texture.
The ale and mustard seeds not only impart a piquant, tangy taste but also create a slightly spicy edge that balances well with the creamy and buttery flavors of the cheddar. The mustard seeds also add a subtle crunch, enhancing the cheese's texture.
This cheese is often coated in a bright red wax, which helps to retain its moisture and flavor. Red Dragon is versatile in the kitchen; it can be used in a variety of dishes, melted into sauces, or simply enjoyed on its own with crackers or bread. Its bold flavors also make it a great pairing with dark ales or full-bodied wines.
