Trust the process....are you wondering how Wensleydale Blue is made? Blue mould spores (Penicillium roqueforti) are added to the milk during the cheese-making process. Then the cheese is lightly pressed before being bound in a muslin bandage, and transferred to a maturing room , akin to a farmhouse or monastery cellar; dark, cool & moist, to mature.

The cheese is turned regularly and after 1-2 weeks the cheese is pierced to facilitate the blue mould development. The piercing of the cheese, allows air to come into contact with the blue mould spores and so the maturation and blue veining of the cheese begins to develop. Our skilled cheese-makers and cheese grader keep a careful eye on the cheese throughout the entire cheese making & maturing process. The cheese is ready for sale in around 6-8 weeks. ๐Ÿง€

Discover a true delicacy, inside the natural rind of our iconic Wensleydale Blue cheese, a close textured, creamy blue cheese with a delicate mellow, yet full flavour, which is notably not strong or harsh.

Wensleydale Blue is steeped in heritage & provenance; it represents the original, matured Wensleydale cheese that was made throughout Wensleydale by the Cistercian monks when they first settled in the dale in 1150. Due to the conditions under which it was made and stored, the cheese would have naturally โ€˜bluedโ€™.
