Red Leicester

Red Leicester is a traditional English cheese known for its distinctive deep orange to reddish color, which comes from adding natural coloring like annatto. It is a firm, crumbly cheese with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Made from cow’s milk, it is aged for a few months to develop its characteristic taste and texture. Red Leicester is versatile, often used in sandwiches, grated over dishes, or enjoyed on its own. Its vibrant appearance and rich flavor make it a popular choice in both casual and gourmet culinary settings.
