Scarlet Crumb Sunrise Red Leicester

A vibrant spin on a British classic from Godminster

Bursting with character, the Scarlet Crumb Sunrise Red Leicester is a joyful take on the traditional Red Leicester cheese. Lovingly crafted in Somerset with pasteurised cow’s milk, this cheese is matured for up to 10 months to achieve its distinctive balance of sweetness, nuttiness, and tang.

Flavour Profile

• Sweet and nutty core with a crisp tang of maturity.

• Firm yet crumbly texture—delivers satisfying bite and melt.

• A golden-orange paste typical of Red Leicester, wrapped in stylish modern packaging.

Tasting Notes

On the palate you’ll find a soft initial sweetness that evolves into deeper nutty tones, interlaced with a tangy finish that keeps it bright. The texture is firm but crumbles nicely, making it a dynamic cheese whether sliced, shattered over salads, or enjoyed on its own.

Pairing Suggestions

• Wine: Medium-bodied Merlot or a dry Riesling to highlight the sweet-nutty contrast.
