Our distinctive take on Red Leicester. A fresher cheese than our traditional cheddar our Devonshire Red retains a nuttiness, combined with a lemony creaminess and a glorious crumbly texture. Infused with natural annatto for an intense amber colour. Typically matured for 3-6 months.

HOW TO STORE – WHOLE You can store your whole sealed clothbound truckle in a damp, cool environment like a cellar or fridge. We would not recommend exceeding one month’s additional ageing from purchase as we cannot vouch for the conditions being correctly maintained outside of our storeroom at Home Farm. We keep our cheese on wooden shelves to avoid contact with anything which might draw moisture from the cheese or taint it in some way. HOW TO STORE – CUT Once the muslin cloth is off it is best to wrap the cheese and keep it in a cool larder or fridge (8-15ºC). Waxed paper is perfect; clingfilm will do. If using cling film, only cover the cheese’s cut side and use a new piece each time you open it. If it is too dry your cheese may crack; too wet and it’ll become thick with mould. Although this mould is natural and can enhance the flavour of the cheese, we suggest you scrape off the excess before consuming it. CUTTING TIPS- Please see this link on how best to cut the truckle

I love Devonshire Red. It tastes amazing and is very versatile. Excellent in cooking but is at it's best on a cheese board. It's so moreish that it's difficult to stop eating it.

Obviously the Devonshire Red doesn't have the complexity and depth of the mature cheddar, but it adds a welcome variety on the cheeseboard and is nevertheless a terrific cheese

Delicious but I did feel it was a little immature.

Thank you Frances for taking the time to purchase our Devonshire Red Truckle. This cheese is one of our younger cheeses, only matured to 6 months, so it has a lot milder flavor than the 12 - 24-month-old cheddar's.
