Wensleydale

Wensleydale

To me, this is how a cheddar should be. A strong cheddar flavor but not overpowering. Tangy, nutty and somewhat crumbly. This cheese is cloth-bound and has a butter-yellow color. Great snack cheese…took a hunk of this on a recent hiking trip and it was perfect.

Wensleydale is produced in the town of Hawes in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, England. There are five main types: Real Yorkshire Wensleydale (the one I sampled); Mature Wensleydale; Extra Mature Wensleydale; Blue Wensleydale and Oak Smoked Wensleydale, all from Neal’s Yard Dairy
