Wensleydale Creamery

Wensleydale Creamery[edit]

The Wensleydale Creamery is a renowned cheese-making company located in the town of Hawes, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, England. It is famous for its production of Wensleydale cheese, a type of cheese that has been made in the area since 1150.

History[edit]

The Wensleydale Creamery has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century when French Cistercian monks settled in the area and started making cheese using sheep's milk. The tradition of cheese-making continued in the area for centuries, and in 1897, the first creamery was established in Hawes.

Production[edit]

The Wensleydale Creamery is known for its traditional methods of cheese-making. The creamery sources milk from over 40 local farms, ensuring the highest quality for their products. The cheese is made by hand in the creamery's cheese-making room. The process involves adding cultures and rennet to the milk to form curds and whey. The curds are then cut, heated, and drained before being moulded and pressed into shape.

Products[edit]

The Wensleydale Creamery produces a wide range of cheeses, including the famous Wensleydale cheese, which is known for its crumbly texture and mild flavour. Other products include Blue Wensleydale, Oak Smoked Wensleydale, and a variety of blended cheeses with added ingredients such as cranberries, apricots, or ginger.

Visitor Centre[edit]

The Wensleydale Creamery also operates a Visitor Centre, where visitors can learn about the history of the creamery and the process of cheese-making. The centre includes a cheese shop, a restaurant, and a viewing gallery where visitors can watch the cheese being made.
