The ‘Yorkshire’ element of the title is incredibly important; it differentiates our unique & special cheese, handcrafted right here in the heart of Wensleydale to a time-honoured recipe, from the other Wensleydale cheeses that are still made elsewhere around the country and found on the shelves of many retailers and delis today. It is our unique Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese that we carefully combine with cranberries –... Read More
