Why is red leicester orange?!
a mean, what makes it that colour!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
its from annatto seeds, but they used to use colouring from carrots in the original version!.
You womnt find many cheeses where the colour comes from anything artificial as most recipes are hundreds of years old - stilton for instance gets the blue mould by a reaction caused from inserting copper wires into the cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Leicester cheese, usually called Red Leicester, is an English cheese, made in a similar manner to cheddar cheese, but is crumblier; it is coloured orange by adding annatto extract during manufacture!. The fairly mild flavour goes well with most food and wine or beer, and is good for Welsh rarebit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Its just food colouring they use, the cheese itself is basically a type of cheddar,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I personally prefer I nice bit of blue stilton, or very, very mature cheddar or Spanish Manchego!.!.!.!.
