Set up in 1987, by David and Mandy Reed, the Swaledale Cheese Company revived the production of the semi-hard, crumbly cheese, which can trace its history back to the 11th century, when Norman monks started making sheep’s milk cheeses in the Yorkshire Dales.
During the 20th Century, cheesemaking declined in Swaledale, and by 1980 there was only one farm producing cheese, Longstaff Farm. When they decided to halt production, Marjorie Longstaff passed the original recipe to the Reeds.
The paste is ivory in colour, fresh, crumbly, moist, semi-hard, and with a natural rind. Fresh and fruity flavours prevail.
