Red Leicester is a traditional, hard English cheese. It has a bright, orange-red rind, firm body, 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.
Lye Cross Farm is located in Somerset, England, at the foot of the Mendip Hills, covering 4,300 acres of rich pasture land.
