Harrogate Blue: A Cheese of Distinction and International Acclaim

“Beautiful, creamy, buttery moist, full-bodied. Savoury and salty. Becomes creamier in the mouth. Exceptional and moist, perfect cheese.” These words, spoken by cheese expert and World Cheese Awards Top 16 Judge, Victoria Urresti, beautifully capture the essence of Harrogate Blue.

“Exceptional cheese, incredible lingering taste in the mouth. So much personality, it is an honour to taste this,” remarked Roland Barthelemy, another distinguished cheese expert and World Cheese Awards Top 16 Judge. Their praise encapsulates the extraordinary journey your taste buds are about to embark on with Harrogate Blue.

This cheese is not just a culinary creation; it’s a work of art. With its stunning golden hue and a minimum maturation period of 10 weeks, Harrogate Blue has been meticulously crafted to attain the perfect balance of flavour and creaminess. Each bite is a symphony of rich, savoury, and salty notes that seamlessly meld into a creamy, buttery sensation that lingers on the palate.

The story of Harrogate Blue is one of immediate success and enduring legacy. Just two weeks after its launch in 2012, it clinched its first award, solidifying its status as an exceptional cheese. This cheese holds a special place in the history of Shepherds Purse, as it marked the inaugural co-production effort by Katie and Caroline, Judy’s daughters, who took over the reins of this specialty cheese company.

Harrogate Blue’s accolades extend far beyond its debut. On the international cheese stage, it has shone brightly, earning accolades such as the prestigious Super Gold and recognition as the 11th best cheese in the world at the World Cheese Awards in London in 2017/18. It continued to charm cheese aficionados, claiming Gold in Bergen, Norway, in 2018/19, and yet another Gold in Bergamo, Italy, in 2019/20.

Harrogate Blue is more than just a cheese; it’s an embodiment of artistry, dedication, and a profound passion for crafting exceptional dairy delights. When you choose Harrogate Blue for your cheese board, you’re not just choosing cheese; you’re choosing a piece of culinary history and a remarkable taste sensation that has captivated the world.
