Red Leicester

What is it?

Baked as small, crunchy biscuits, these snacks swap in a milder cheese flavour instead of the sharper cheddar found in the Original variety. An orange-tinged dough carries a nutty, slightly sweet profile, with the cheese baked through the biscuit rather than added as a separate coating. Texture-wise, they keep the same firm snap as the rest of the range, breaking cleanly between your teeth with a dry, crumbly finish. Compared with the Original, the flavour leans gentler and a touch more buttery, reading as a baked cheese snack rather than a cracker. Sold in single bags and multipacks, they work well alongside a sandwich at lunch or straight from the packet as an afternoon snack.
