» Leicester «
A natural, hard cheese. The bright, orange-red rind has fine, powdery moulds. Raspy, moist-textured, Leicester is made in a similar fashion to Cheddar and comes covered in a hard, dry rind. Leicester has a rich, mild flavor with a flaky texture and a deep orange color, due to natural dye annatto. Traditional makers of Red Leicester include Quicke and Overton Hall. This cheese can be eaten young, but it should ideally be left to mature for six to nine months. This cheese is excellent with fruit and beer.
