Crafted with carefully selected cultures and the skill of our expert cheesemakers, Red Fox delivers an intense, complex flavour profile, balancing distinctive sweet and savoury notes.

This delicious, handcrafted, russet-coloured cheese has a wonderfully unexpected crunch. As Red Fox matures, naturally occurring calcium lactate crystals develop, creating its signature subtle crunch and adding a distinctive texture to every bite.

Matured for over 16 months, Red Fox is an aged Red Leicester with a character all of its own. Its name pays homage to the fox weather vane that has stood proudly above Belton Farm since 1815. And with Red Fox being a Red Leicester, the fox felt like a fitting mascot, too, with its long-standing association with Leicester and Leicestershire.

Clever, distinctive and full of character, Red Fox lives up to its name. Its rich, creamy texture is balanced by that signature crunch, while its bold, complex flavours bring together the best of sweet and savoury notes. The result is a wonderfully satisfying cheese with a characterful bite that has to be experienced to be appreciated.
