This classic cheese is steeped in history and years of knowledge, skill and craftsmanship, passed down through generations of expert cheese-makers that is now widely celebrated.Achieving the perfect crumble requires a closely guarded, time-honoured recipe that only a privileged few get their hands on. Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese-making origins date as far back as 1150 when French Cistercian monks settled in the Dales. While this marked the beginning of our much-loved crumbly cheese, it is the farmer’s wives we have to thank for safeguarding this precious recipe until the first Creamery was built in Hawes in 1897. From here on, farmers have been integral to achieving the perfect flavour and texture combination of creamy and crumbly Yorkshire Wensleydale with the most important of ingredients - milk sourced from local farms in the Dales.Whether in pride of place on a cheeseboard or sliced on top of fruitcake, this much-loved cheese has been enjoyed for generations. However, it’s within favourite dishes where the crumbly texture and creamy taste of Yorkshire Wensleydale really speaks for itself.* Tell Wensleydale Creamery how you like to crumble it and to hear more about Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, find recipe inspiration for your favourite dishes and taste it for yourself.
