I used to live in Leicester in the mid 70s as a student and go drawing in the countryside on my bike towards Melton Mobray.
All the fields were full of the dairy cows that the local cheeses were made from.
In the city centre there used to be a big indoor produce market. A whole hall dedicated to cheese. Stilton and red Leicester piled up high. It was so tasty and I have never tasted it again till now. We students lived in it because it was so cheap. And we ate it with the brown soda bread they baked there and the local beer.
The Stilton that was too ripe to ship was sold off for every little and it was perfectly sweet, creamy and blue.
A 2 inch round cost 50p. It was insainly heavenous!
So glad to find you and your Red Leicester. I'm in heaven again. I'm eating it with some enkorn bread and some cracked Nordic Rye Bread. Today I made a big pot of local cambridge plum chutney that I bought from our market in Cambridge. I sweetened it with dates. Spices and apple vinegar. I adjusted it at the end with red wine b
Vinegar and dark soft sugar.
So all together, I've discovered heaven!
This will make perfect lunches when I work on the market selling the things I make. And life is altogether sweeter.
Thankyou for caring about our food traditions.

The best Red Leicester I have ever tried. Unlike anything you get at the supermarket. Full-flavoured, lovely dense and crystalline texture. Superb.
Pam B.
Too ‘earthy’ for my palate
John M.
Really enjoying the cheese, flavour and texture.
Susan L.
This is how Red Leicester should taste, it took me back to my childhood, wonderful flavour that lingers on the palate.
Keith W.
Not bad but not brilliant!
Dave E.
Great wholesome tasts, better than expected, just slightly crumbly,, no off flavours at all, aftertaste memorable, definitely hooked now, will buy again!

The best red Leicester I've ever tasted

It was a little young so it was spongy rather than brittle and did not have the caramel notes that we experienced the last time
Sarah W.
Love Red Leicester cheese, as does one of my cats!!

A short while ago I came across Rennet & Rind's website and was impressed with their range of cheese.
I ordered a sizeable portion of Sparkenhoe Red Leicester and wasn't disappointed. The whole process from ordering to delivery was easy and swift.
I'll be ordering more after I've munched my way through my cheese.
Matt W.
The only red leicester worth eating
Lisa W.
Delicious cheese. I just wondered if you could get mature Red Leicester so searched for it on Google, found R&R and BAM! The most delicious cheese ever! Nothing more to say.
Patricia L.
Full of flavour
Michael F.
Been wanting to try this unique Red Leicester for quite some time and it was an absolute treat
Martine
I can’t tell you how different this is the the Red Leicester they sell in supermarkets!! I ate this with fresh grapes no need for crackers or biscuits.
Elizabeth M.
Rich and nutty, a cut above your average cheese
Colin p.
Really good flavour. Slightly tangy but a different taste to “normal” Red Leicester
Patricia K.
It was a gift for my nephew and he loved it, in fact he loves any cheese that he’s had from you
Tammy A.
a nice nutty cheese
Robert N.
Wonderful cheese, streets ahead of supermarket Red Leicester!
Lucy L.
A really good cheese in perfect condition. Supermarket cheese has it's place but for Red Leicester you can forget the rather soapy, pre-packaged orange stuff and treat yourself to a proper bit of cheese.
John K.
It seemed like past it's best. Old and dry.
Sally M.
The best Red Leicester I have tasted .
Jonathan P.
Ordered a cheeseboard of 8 different British cheeses and whilst they were all outstanding, this was my favourite!!
Sandra W.
I sent this as a gift for Christmas and it arrived perfectly wrapped and on time.
Sue W.
Very nutty flavour and great Red Leicester cheese.
David L.
What a REAL cheese. Nothing like the pale imitations from the supermarket.
Add chutney and triple seed flatbread biscuits and you are transported to heaven.
Much more flavoursome than one would expect.

Texture and wonderful taste of this cheese really is something to behold. Enjoyed with my family and a nice bottle of wine!
Alison C.
A wonderful grown up Red Leicester. Proper cheese. Highly recommend
Patricia K.
Every cheese I have purchased from Rennet & Rind has been extremely tasty and satisfying. Some of my order was given as a gift and the recipient thinks they are all great
Christian
Very tasty, very impressed
Chryssa
All the cheese was great
Edwina T.
The cheese board Perry put together for my 70 th Birthday party was the best advert he could of ever done

We ordered a selection for Easter. Lovely mild red Leicester. Beautifully matured.
B W.
Even Poppy likes blue cheese. We so enjoyed the Pecorino, nice clean taste, creamy texture , went very well with my home made granary bread. thank you.
Angela C.
The best red I’ve eaten,ever.
Kate j.
Really great flavour.
Stuart P.
I’m always a bit dubious about Red Leicester, but this one has the strength of a blue in my unprofessional option and is almost nutty. Worth a go and no need to be dubious.
Mark P.
I love Red Leicester, but this is something else…
Well matured and crumbly!
On top of that, great service!!
Definitely be re ordering.
Thank You
Helen M.
Just about the best version of Red Leicester you can get. Wonderful flavour, very firm texture and makes a fabulous addition both in flavour and colour to a cheddar in a cauliflower cheese etc
Helen M.
We have fed this cheese to several friends whose initial reaction to being offered a Red Leicester was unenthusiastic- “really? But it’s so bland”. While Sparkenhoe is not a punch in the face flavour it’s subtle creamy earthiness is deeply satisfying and made all of us suddenly remember why we loved this in our youth and haven’t eaten a Red Leicester like it for decades. And in cooking it just looks so pretty as well as adding subtle cheesy richness
Kathrine M.
I liked this cheese a lot - savoury, almost nutty hard cheese. It's not as distinct or as rich / flavorsome as normal vintage Leicester's but this does not in any way mean inferior. Sits really well on a cheese board with a soft cheese and a blue cheese. Or paired with a red wine. I actually used the last of it (a little stale as I left it out overnight) in a mac and cheese which some would frown upon but actually it added so much character and made it the best mac and cheese ever.
Steve F.
Best "red Leicester" available
Mariy J.
Lovely mature flavour, ideal with a cracker
Paul R.
This Red Liecester is nothing like the average.
It is silky smooth with a mature nutty flavour.
It is aged until perfect and even the rind is delightful to eat.
Partnered with an old Rioja it's the closest thing to a special night out.
Enjoy it while you can.
Please send me another kilo.
