Red Leicester
Barber’s Farmhouse Red Leicester is made with traditional starter cultures, West Country milk and just the tiniest amount of the plant dye annatto, which gives it its distinctive russet red colour. Ageing it for around four months results in a smooth and sweet cheese that’s great in a Cauliflower Cheese.

Red Leicester
The Profile
A smooth and buttery finish with subtle sweet and nutty notes.
Wine Pairings
Our Red Leicester will pair well with an oak aged wine, to balance the cheese’s nutty notes. If you fancy a digestif then try a peat whisky.
Food Pairings
Red Leicester, with its nutty sweetness and vibrant color, pairs beautifully with wholemeal bread, pickled chutney, and a pint of bitter ale. It also works well with roasted nuts or sweet grapes to highlight its mellow richness.
