Red Leicester 100g

Red Leicester Cheese

Red Leicester is a classic British cheese known for its rich, nutty flavor and striking orange color. Made from cow's milk, this semi-hard cheese has a smooth, firm texture that becomes slightly crumbly with age. It has a mild, yet distinct taste, with a delicate tang and subtle creaminess that makes it versatile for various culinary uses. The cheese’s vibrant color comes from the addition of annatto, a natural plant extract, which gives it its characteristic hue and adds a touch of visual appeal to any cheese board.
