International Cheese Awards - Gold

2023, 2022

Joseph Heler Ltd produces Vintage Red Leicester, a classic British cheese known for its vibrant color and distinctive taste. This cheese is made using traditional methods and aged for a period to develop a firm texture and rich, nutty flavor, accentuated by a slightly sweet undertone.


The cheese's bold red color comes from the addition of annatto, a natural coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. Vintage Red Leicester by Joseph Heler is often lauded for its crumbly yet creamy texture, making it a popular choice for cheese boards and culinary applications.
