A firm English Red Leicester cheese with a firm but flaky texture. Matured under carefully controlled conditions for three to four months, it’s known for its deep orange colour, and has a sweet and delicate flavour.
Lye Cross Farm is owned by the Alvis family, who have fifty years of cheese making experience. It is based at the foot of the Mendip hills, in Somerset, and only a few miles from the village of Cheddar.
All the gorgeous flowers and rich grasses make for the tastiest milk, which they employ, using old-fashioned cheese-making skills, to make these fantastic cheeses.
