Quicke’s Devonshire Red is a traditional clothbound Red Leicester made on the Quicke family farm in Devon using pasteurised cow’s milk from their own herd. Matured for around six months, it develops a rich, buttery character with notes of toasted hazelnuts, caramel and sweet grass, balanced by a savoury depth and smooth, creamy texture. Its vibrant natural colour and lingering nutty finish make it a distinctive and flavourful British territorial cheese.

Made using time-honoured cheesemaking methods, the curds are carefully milled, salted and pressed before each truckle is bound in cloth and matured slowly. Regular turning throughout the ageing process allows the cheese to develop its characteristic depth of flavour and firm yet supple texture, while preserving the complexity that has made Devonshire Red one of Britain's most celebrated Red Leicesters.

Pair it with apple chutney, crusty bread or crisp cider to highlight its sweet, nutty character. It also melts beautifully, making it an excellent choice for toasties, cheese sauces and traditional British recipes.
