Known for its vibrant orange-red hue and rich, nutty flavour, our Red Leicester cheese has a smooth, creamy texture that becomes firmer as it ages, while the flavour deepens, offering a mild tanginess and a slightly sweet, buttery finish. Its savoury profile is complemented by hints of toasted nuts and a delicate, earthy undertone.
Whether enjoyed on its own, melted over toast, or paired with fruits and crackers, Red Leicester’s distinct colour and balanced flavour make it a beloved addition to any cheese platter or culinary creation.
