About Red leicester cheese
Red Leicester cheese is a semi-hard, cow's milk cheese originating from Leicestershire, England. Recognizable by its rich orange-red color achieved through the addition of annatto, it has a firm texture and a slightly tangy, nutty flavor that deepens with age. Traditionally crafted, Red Leicester contains essential nutrients like calcium and protein, which support bone health and muscle function. It also offers vitamin B12, aiding in nerve and blood cell health. However, its high fat and sodium content mean it should be enjoyed in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring heart health or aiming for a low-sodium diet. Versatile in cuisine, Red Leicester is perfect for grating over dishes, incorporating into casseroles, or enjoying on a cheese board. Its vibrant hue and distinctive taste make it a culinary favorite across the globe while nodding to its English roots.
