In 1957 the single last farmer producing Wensleydale cheese in the Yorkshire Dales gave up. Over 50 years later in July 2019, Ben and Sam Spence re-started that tradition on their farm in the heart of Wensleydale.
Using fresh milk from local cows, they make an old-fashioned Wensleydale cheese, not quite as crumbly as its modern relations, with a fresh, sharp yet light flavour and supple creamy texture.
Made by Ben and Sam Spence in the town of Wensley, Wensleydale, England.

This delicious cheese is a Wensleydale style with a creamy firm flavour and consistency. Excellent served in the Yorkshire tradition with fruit cake or apple pie – or as cheese of course!

This is not my first Old Roan and will not be my last.
Put simply, it is a taste that reminds me of my childhood and youth growing up in the North Riding when all Wensleydale cheese tasted like this – luscious and firm- and there was not a plastic wrapping in sight.

Lovely texture and flavour went down a treat at the wife’s birthday dinner.
