Rutland Red Aged Red Leicester (formally known as Thomas Hoe Stevenson) is the only pasteurised Red Leicester to be produced in the county of Leicestershire, in the heart of the Vale of Belvoir, where it is buttered, cloth bound, and matured for approximately 6 months.
Flaky open texture and a lemony, slightly sweet, nutty caramelized flavour.
Red Lion is a smooth, firm, tasty cheddar that has a subtle sharpness and depth of natural mustard with piquant notes of Welsh ale. Not only do the mustard seeds give Red Lion its marvelous flavour, but also its texture. The brown ale makes the cheese moist and tangy.
A Red Leicester with Oomph. Creamy with a complex taste due to its 18-21 month maturation that provides the vintage credentials of quality, calcium crystals, a nutty texture and intensity of flavour, finishing on notes of caramel, this cheese totally redefines what you might expect from a red Leicester. Coated in red wax.
Perfect in a ham and mustard sandwich. Also gives a rich amber colour melted over chicken or steak. Pair with a new world Merlot.
Rock Star is a cave aged cheddar aged for 18 months. It has a savoury aroma with delicately complex notes, while its texture is incredibly smooth and irresistibly creamy with the occasional crunchy crystal. Its complex, umami flavours are as deep as the caverns it is aged in, and it finishes with sweet, caramel notes and a savoury tang with a long finish.
Sage Derby is a cheddar type gourmet cheese made using leaf sage for flavour, and colored using chlorophyll (plant coloring) to give a green marbled finish. The finely chopped sage leaf gives a subtle extra flavor.
Saxon Shires is not really a single cheese. It consists of alternating layers of five different cheeses, taken from the five famous counties of Gloucester, Leicester, Lancashire, Derby and Cheddar. The flavours of the cheeses alternate from mild to medium. Overall flavour is rather mild and cheddary. Visually appealing, because of the contrasting colors, and a delicious blend of flavours.
