Wensleydale cheese is a cow’s milk cheese made in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, England -chiefly in the town of Hawes. Wensleydale draws its unique flavor from the local grass as it is made exclusively with milk from cows grazing in the neighboring pasture lands.
Wensleydale is a tangy and crumbly double cream cheese; the closest thing to queso fresco -fresh cheese- one can taste in England, although it is less sweet and it will tickle your taste buds. Wensleydale cheese is meant to be a good match for port or cake. This means is more a dessert cheese than something to nibble; however the versions with fruit bits taste heavenly on their own, particularly the one with cranberries. It was a success diced and served as part of a tapas spread. That was the first bowl to be finished.
