Sparkenhoe Red Leicester – 100g

Sparkenhoe is a truly authentic Red Leicester with a beautifully nutty taste: a legendary cheese made from an old recipe, dating back to 1745. Annatto, the dye used to make its orange colour, is a natural plant dye obtained from a South American bush. Sparkenhoe is matured for six months, with a firm texture and gentle lactic butterscotch flavour. Sparkenhoe is made by David and Jo Clarke of the Leicestershire Handmade Cheese company in South West Leicestershire with unpasteurised milk and traditional rennet.
