Made by Ben and Sam Spence, in their micro-dairy in Wensley, Yorkshire. The only traditional Wensleydale, made in Wensleydale. A traditional raw-milk clothbound farmhouse Wensleydale, produced in small batches, to a slow traditional handmade recipe. This results in a cheese that is smooth and buttery in texture, and fresh and yoghurty, with tones of earthiness.

Their cheeses are buttered and clothbound, and matured for around 3-4 months.
