The sons of George, Neil and John, have since been producing Kosher cheese for the UK market and are now the leading UK Kosher cheese producers under the Chevington label. Royal George cheeses are the first ever English cheeses to be certified Kosher by the O.U. and the varieties available are Cheddar, Red Leicester and Double Gloucester.
The cheese is Cholov Yisroael and is suitable for Passover. It is made to the very highest of standards to be delicious and flavorsome and was available at Kosherfest 2004 for us to sample for the first time. The launch of Royal George label at Kosherfest is the event of the year for this English Cheesemaker.
Red Leicester is a mellow cheese with a hard, granular texture. It gets its bright red color from the addition of annatto, which is ground achiote seed from the annatto tree. Red Leicester is a rather young cheese, as it is only aged for 10 to 12 weeks. As it ripens, it develops a distinct nuttiness and faint lemony finish that separates it from all other English cheeses.
- Kosher for Passover by the O.U.
- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Kosher Red Leicester:
I found a wonderful Macaroni and cheese recipie that required red Leicester. This has a little stronger taste than sharp cheeder, which work well with this dish.

Comments about Kosher Red Leicester:
We had this cheese when we visited England several years back and fell in love with it. For all cheddar fans out there it is a nice variation and a must try.
