Yoredale Blue Wensleydale Cheese

Description

YOREDALE BLUE WENSLEYDALE CHEESE

The blue version of our traditional Yoredale Wensleydale. It is clothbound and aged for 1-2 months, before being pierced and aged further. The piercing allows the blue veins to form and break down the tart-freshness of the Wensleydale, giving it a smooth and soft texture with mellow spicy-blue flavour.

Years ago, before the advances of cheese-making techniques, Wensleydale cheese made on farms in the area often would naturally blue, so we were keen to recreate this historic cheese.
