Cheese - Sparkenhoe Vintage Red Leicester

Made by Leicestershire Handmade Cheese Co. in Warwickshire, using raw cow's milk and traditional animal rennet. This version of Sparkenhoe Red Leicester is the vintage profile, aged for 14 months, which gives it a strong, powerful flavour that's rich and nutty but with a light lemony flavour on the finish, subtly tangy. The texture is compact but flaky with buttery and nutty notes.

For our Christmas Cheese this year we are working with Tyromancer, Saddleworth’s only dedicated artisan cheesemonger. They bring exceptional artisan cheese and a small selection of wine and provisions to Uppermill High Street.
