Wensley, Yorkshire
Yoredale is a cloth-bound cheese that uses the same cloth binders as Kirkham's Lancashire.
Ben and Sam Spence started making cheese in 2019 after leaving their jobs in finance. They moved from Manchester back to Ben's family farm where they settled on cheesemaking after looking for a way to diversify the farm's output. They are now settled at their own site where their dairy is housed in a small, converted garage. To help them develop Yoredale, Ben and Sam have spent time making other territorial cheeses like Stonebeck Wensleydale and Kirkham's Lancashire. The cheese community has not only shared knowledge with them but awarded them the Dougal Campbell Bursary at the Specialist Cheesemakers Association farm visit in 2022 in recognition of their progress and the promise of what Yoredale will be.
We have been tasting samples of Yoredale and feeding back to Ben and Sam for the past few years. After running some maturation trials to better understand the cheese and what we can do to sell it at its best, we were pleased to start selling it across Neal's Yard Dairy in November 2022.
