Kit Calvert Old Style Wensleydale Cheese

Named in celebration and honour of Kit Calvert MBE, the legendary Yorkshire businessman, who helped save the Wensleydale Creamery from closure in the 1930s. The cheese is handcrafted using local milk and unique cheese-making starter cultures and bound in cloth, before being naturally aged and matured for around 16 weeks on open shelves in an atmospherically controlled cheese store.

During this maturation period the outer surface of the cheese forms a natural rind, whilst the buttery, creamy, complex rounded flavour and texture of the cheese continues to develop.   The earthy notes of the rind of the finished cheese lead you through to the creamy, buttery body of the cheese with a complex milky flavour with citrusy notes and a lemony back flavour.

THIS CHEESE IS MADE WITH A TRADITIONAL RENNET & IS NOT SUITABLE FOR VEGETRIANS.
