Shepherds Purse Mrs Bell's Blue (Approx. 750g) is available to buy in increments of 0.5

Description

Mrs Bell's Blue is a rich, creamy ewe’s milk blue cheese with a mellow yet distinctive flavour profile.

Handcrafted on a family farm in North Yorkshire using 100% English ewe’s milk, it is matured for a minimum of 10 weeks to develop its smooth, luxurious texture and beautifully balanced blue character. The naturally rich sheep’s milk delivers a subtle sweetness that complements the savoury, tangy notes of the blue mould, creating a cheese often compared to Roquefort, but with a creamier texture and a gentler finish.

A true British artisan cheese, Mrs Bell's Blue is perfect for cheeseboards, crumbled over salads, melted into sauces or paired with fresh pears, figs and honey. First created in 1995 alongside the iconic Yorkshire Blue, it has grown to become one of Europe’s finest ewe’s milk blue cheeses.

An award-winning favourite, Mrs Bell's Blue has received numerous accolades, including Gold medals at the British Cheese Awards and the International Cheese & Dairy Awards, as well as three stars at the Great Taste Awards, reinforcing its reputation as one of Britain’s most celebrated artisan blue cheeses.

About Producer	Shepherds Purse began in the late 1980’s when Judy Bell discovered her passion and talent for cheese making. Having started by making cheese only from sheep milk, they extended their range to include cow's milk and even water buffalo milk cheeses. Today, they are best known for their blue cheeses Yorkshire Blue and Harrogate Blue, and for their sheep milk Mediterranean salad-style cheese, Yorkshire Fettle as well as their sheep milk blue Mrs Bell's Blue. As Shepherds Purse has grown, they retain a proud, independent family business, making cheese in the traditional way on their farm in North Yorkshire. The Shepherds Purse team is now a team of 35 passionate artisans being led by Judy’s two daughters Katie and Caroline.
