Stonebeck Wensleydale 250g

£15.75
Stonebeck Wensleydale - Made by Andrew and Sally Hattan in Nidderdale, Yorkshire Stonebeck Wensleydale is a raw milk farmhouse cheese inspired by the heritage of the farm. The milk for the cheese comes from a small herd of Northern Dairy Shorthorn cows, a rare breed native to the Yorkshire Dales. They graze traditional wildflower meadows and pastureland. The cheese’s taste and texture are an expression of the farm and place: soft and creamy with long, complex and layered flavour.  Made by hand, pressed and bound in calico before maturing. Cheese was made on the farm using milk from Northern Dairy Shorthorns up to the mid- 1950s. This historical link has inspired the Hattons to base their cheese making on methods from the early 20th century. Using references from 1917 and 1932 together with interviews with a 101-year-old local cheese maker to re-imagine farmhouse Wensleydale.
