Cloth-Ashed Red Leicester

Made by hand in small batches to a traditional recipe, Red Leicester has a slightly lower fat content than Cheddar and, if aged well, maintains a more open and crumbly texture.

Use the whole wheel to transform a cheeseboard, or portion it to share with friends and family.

Each wheel weighs approximately 2kg.

At the peak of Spring, when clover production is high and the milk contains more fat, our Red Leicester exhibits beautiful earthy flavours. 

It takes its colour from a natural dye (beta carotene) found in the seeds of the South American Achiote tree. The red colour was
traditionally used to signify milk quality. It looks stunning on a cheeseboard and is perfectly accompanied by celery, fig jam or white wine.

NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES, COLOURING OR FLAVOURING

Unless you have qualified for free shipping, we charge a flat delivery fee of $20 per order.

Your cheese is shipped via Australia Post Express with ice blocks and insulated packaging to ensure it arrives fresh and at the perfect temperature. Packages can be left at your property even if unattended - just make sure to refrigerate your cheese as soon as you can after delivery.

Orders are dispatched on Monday's, so your cheese heads straight to you at the start of the week and doesn't sit in transit over the weekend.

Please note, we do not accept PO Box addresses for orders.

For large orders (over 5kg) we may need to use more than one shipping box, and additional shipping charges may apply. We'll always contact you before dispatch if this is the case.

Shipping costs are non-refundable.

If you have any questions, please refer to our Refund Policy or email sales@maffracheese.com.au before placing your order.
