Sparkenhoe Red Leicester

Sparkenhoe Red Leicester is a traditional, farmhouse British cheese made using unpasteurised milk and clothbound maturation. Richer and more complex than modern Red Leicester, it delivers deep savoury character with a nutty, slightly sweet finish.

A true revival of an historic British classic.

About this product

Made by Sparkenhoe Farm using traditional methods, this Red Leicester develops a firm yet slightly crumbly texture and a long, rounded flavour. Naturally coloured with annatto and matured for depth, it offers far more character than mass-produced versions.
