Organic Red Leicester
Organic red Leicester, handmade by the Beckett family in Shropshire – rich and nutty, with hints of caramel.
About
Beautiful local milk, plus the traditional cheesemaking skills of the Beckett family on Belton Farm, Shropshire, make this organic red Leicester something really special.
It’s got a slightly sweet, almost caramel flavour, which becomes more robust as the cheese matures. The finished wedge is rich, savoury and nutty, with a firm texture and cheerful orange colour (given by annatto, a natural colouring made from the seeds of the achiote tree).
