Red Leicester For some reason, I’ve always shied away from Red Leicester, perhaps it was the colour. That bright orange and slightly artificial look about it has never turned me on. Red Leicester in its unpasteurized form hasn’t been made in the district of Leicester for some years, and the more you try to research this the less information you get. So, what happened to it? Did it go out of vogue? I wonder, or did it just get forgotten about and the commercially made Red Leicester took its glory?
