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.

Old Roan Wensleydale is made to a traditional recipe, then cloth-bound and matured for 3-4 months giving it a beautiful, creamy texture and farmyard taste…as they say you can taste the terrior in this cheese.

£11.95
Sinodun Hill – Made by Frazer Norton & Rachel Yarrow in Oxfordshire
The initial make process takes place over 4 days after which it is ripened for up to 21 days to develop the rind and bring out complexity in the flavour and texture. The rennet is vegetarian, derived from the cardoon thistle. The result is a flavoursome cheese with a fresh, citrus flavour which deepens as it ages to reveal almond and red fruit notes. Its rind is a stunning ivory colour and seasonally develops a dusting of blue and grey moulds as it ages, which add to the flavour and character of the cheese.
