Red Leicester Cheese
The English cheese dairy Wyke, renowned for the production of Cheddar cheese, makes this specialty with the milk of cows from their own farms. Their Red Leicester cheese is made in the same way as their Cheddar, but they make it with whole milk and double blended to give it that more crumbly texture and distinctive creamy flavor. This cheese has a burnt orange color with a uniform and paler orange mottling that becomes more evident later in life. Its texture is firm and slightly open that melts when worked in the hand. Its flavor is medium, it has a rounded creamy nutty flavor with a slight acid touch.
You can buy this cheese in blocks of 200 grams.
