Black Sheep mature cheddar cheese
A new mature cheddar cheese flavoured with ale has been produced by Yorkshire-based Wensleydale Creamery.
The cheese maker has partnered with Black Sheep Brewery to produce a mature cheddar with Black Sheep Riggwelter Ale, after the manufacturers identified a gap in the market for a “beer cheese”.
The cheese is available in Waitrose stores nationwide.
David Hartley, md of The Wensleydale Creamery said: “Black Sheep Brewery shares our proud Yorkshire heritage and passion for tradition and craftsmanship.
“It’s a privilege to partner with another award-winning Yorkshire producer to give cheese and ale lovers the authentic taste of the Yorkshire Dales we love so much!”
The partnership with Black Sheep Brewery is one of a number of collaborations between the The Wensleydale Creamery and other Yorkshire brands.
Partners included included: Brymor Ice Cream, Yorkshire Provender and Rosebud Preserves.
