Ingredients of Aged Leicestershire Red
Ingredients:
Fat 48+, pasteurized cow's milk, vegetarian rennet, salt, natural pigment: annatto
The striking color and taste of Red Leicester
The Aged Leicestershire Red is a cheese with a rich history and an unmistakable appearance. The deep red to orange color immediately catches the eye. This color is obtained completely naturally by the addition of annatto, a natural pigment derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. This not only gives the cheese its beautiful hue, but also contributes to the authentic appearance of this traditional English cheese.
In addition to its appearance, the taste is also phenomenal. During the careful ripening process, the cheese develops a slightly flaky, crumbly texture, comparable to a good Cheddar. The taste is surprisingly soft, with slightly sweet notes of caramel and a delicious nutty aftertaste. Thanks to the exclusive use of vegetarian rennet, this cheese is also a responsible choice for vegetarians. The Aged Leicestershire Red is an absolute eye-catcher on a cheese board, delicious as a snack and also melts fantastically over hot dishes such as nachos or casseroles.
Freshly cut from the knife for optimal quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat our premium foreign cheeses with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Aged Leicestershire Red fresh from the large cheese wheel as soon as we receive your order. Almost immediately afterwards, we pack your cheese tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To protect the fragile structure and the unique aromas during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you bring fresh top quality into your home.
