Red Leicester Loaf

Red Leicester is a traditional, hard English cheese made from cow's milk. It has a bright, orange-red rind, firm body and a flaky texture and the flavor is delicately sweet. This cheese is matured in cloth, the old-fashioned way, to allow better flavor development. Red Leicester is a versatile cheese and is essentially a Cheddar alternative. It melts beautifully, adds color to a cheeseboard and to sauces and makes a nice flavorful addition to salads either grated or cubed.
