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. ๐ง

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 โbluedโ.
Our beautifully mellow and creamy blue cheese, which has always been one of our most popular varieties, has long been a favourite with visitors to the Creamery in Hawes, and this exciting new listing in means that youโll be able to enjoy a taste of the Yorkshire Dales no matter where you are in the country.
Alongside the listing in Tesco, weโve also given our Wensleydale Blue a fresh new look! We'd love to know your thoughts! ๐ง
Find our range of artisan cheeses in independent retailers, your local delicatessen or farm shop and most major supermarkets.
