Blue Wensleydale
This blue-veined version of Wensleydale is rarely seen today, having had its origins in northern England in the twelfth century. It has a slightly open and crumbly texture to promote mould growth.
Each wheel weighs approximately 2kg.
This cheese honours the original recipe handed down to the English by the Cistercian Monks of northern France, sometime in the twelfth century – unlike our Brexit Box, a harbinger of pan-European cooperation… The slightly lactic and salty undertones of typical Wensleydale are completely transformed by the activity of the blue mould.
This is a truly small-batch cheese. We only make a handful of wheels each year, most of which are reserved for private sale.
NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES, COLOURING OR FLAVOURING
Cow’s milk, salt, non-animal rennet, starter cultures (milk)
