Sparkenhoe Red Leicester Mature – Aged 12 Months, Warwickshire
Deep, brothy intensity meets crystalline crunch in this aged farmhouse classic.
• Milk Type: Cow’s Milk
• Rennet: Traditional
• Pasteurisation: Raw Milk
• Producer: The Clarke Family, Sparkenhoe Farm, Warwickshire
• Aging: Minimum 12 Months
This mature version of Sparkenhoe Red Leicester is a robust, full-bodied expression of England’s only raw milk Red Leicester. Handcrafted by the Clarke family in the heart of Warwickshire, it’s matured for at least a year to coax out rich umami undertones and deepen its naturally sweet, nutty profile.
The extended aging intensifies its flavour—think meaty, brothy richness with subtle caramelised notes—while the texture shifts from supple to satisfyingly crunchy, dotted with natural crystals that give it an almost cheddar-like snap.
Its deep russet-orange hue, achieved with natural annatto, speaks to its heritage. This is Red Leicester redefined: bold, complex, and uncompromisingly traditional.
Pairing Suggestions
• Wine: A bold Barolo or an amber ale with malty warmth
• Charcuterie: Stands up beautifully to Wagyu beef salami or air-dried duck breast
• Accompaniments: Pickled onions, rye crisps, or a rich date chutney
