Red Leicester, like the Double Gloucester, is also produced in Lancashire, England. This cheddar type cheese has a full robust and nutty flavor. The bright reddish orange color comes from the addition of annato, which is a natural coloring from the achiote seed. The cheese is aged approximately sixteen weeks. Red Leicester makes a colorful addition to any cheese platter and livens up a grilled cheese.
