Cheese of the Week
White Leicester
United Kingdom
White Leicester, also known as Leicester or Leicestershire cheese, is similar to Red Leicester but lacks the annatto coloring, resulting in a natural pale color. It has a firm texture and a rich, mellow, nutty flavor. This cheese is excellent for melting over dishes and is a popular choice for cheeseboards.
