The Home Farmer ‘Old Roan’ farmhouse Wensleydale cheese is new to our range and you simply must give it a try. The Home Farmer’s Old Roan is a Wensleydale cheese, made by Ben and Sam Spence in Aysgarth in small batches by hand on their farm. Using a traditional recipe and unpasteurised milk from their own herd they produce a Wensleydale like they used to! Tasting notes: this cheese as creamier and less crumbly than the typical Wensleydale of our recent years, it has a complex but light flavour with a delightful freshness.
