Belton Red Fox Aged Red Leicester

Red Fox cheese offers a delightful journey for your taste buds, marrying an intense and complex blend of sweet and savoury flavours. This russet-coloured cheese captivates with its vibrant hue and cunningly unexpected crunch. The subtle crunch is credited to the naturally occurring calcium lactate crystals that develop as the cheese matures, signaling its quality.

Aged for over 16 months, Red Fox is a sophisticated form of Red Leicester, drawing inspiration from the iconic weather vane atop Belton Farm since 1815. The connection to the fox is more than nominal, as the fox has long served as a symbol of Leicester and Leicestershire. Just as foxes are known for their smoothness, cunning, and cleverness, Red Fox embodies these traits.

The smoothness of Red Fox is evident in its rich and creamy texture, complemented by its surprising crunch. This combination of creaminess and subtle crunch offers a rugged and memorable mouthfeel that invites you to savour each bite.
