Yorkshire Blue
from £4.40
Creamy piquant cheese made with milk from contented English ewes
£7.70
A favourite of Rick Stein and Raymond Blanc, Mrs Bell's Blue is as creamy as her sister cheese, our Yorkshire Blue, but distinct in appearance via its whiter coloured body, contrasting beautifully with the blue/green veins.
Mrs Bell's Blue is made from the finest quality sheep milk. We produce in small vats and after the first 24 hours of turning and formation, we hand salt each cheese. Each batch is then matured for a minimum of 10 weeks. This achieves the complex blue flavour that’s comparable to Roquefort but creamier and mellower.
Mrs Bell's Blue launched in 1995 and made an immediate mark by winning two gold medals and Reserve Supreme Champion at the prestigious Nantwich International Cheese Show. It is our most awarded cheese on the international stage having won more than 75 top awards over the years!

Made from SHEEP MILK.
Mrs Bell's Blue is considered to be one of the best ewes’ milk blue cheeses in Europe. The milk’s meadowy sweetness and the cheese’s saltiness deliver a rich, complex flavour. Milder than a Roquefort but punchy enough for any blue cheese fan.
I recently purchased a Bit of Blue gift box, as I had friends coming to stay. This , together with the Bluemin White, were the clear favourites. Such a shame it has been removed from the gift box now. I wonder why that is?
Found this at my local Waitrose store…. Very tasty and not as ‘bitter’ as some blue cheese can be.
I will definitely be buying this again….
I really enjoyed tasting this cheese for the first time - it is creamy and mellow which is why I do not understand the comparison with Roquefort, which I find to be more punchy.
It is good enough to stand on its own and personally speaking, I will be eating much more of this in the future and may well include it in our members' offering in 2022.
Ive always been a lover of Roquefort but have decided this year to buy more British produce.
I am happy to say that this cheese is an absolutely cracking, robust blue cheese... sorry France but I won't be buying anymore Roquefort.
Mrs Bell you have created brilliant cheese. Thank you.
Just found this at our local M&S
This is nothing but Divine!
I bought this gift pack for a friend’s 90th birthday. It was attractively packed and with a good selection of cheeses.
Creamy rich taste.
This was a Gift excellent for all ages. The service was great on time and very fresh, flavour & texture fantastic.
Thank you Shepherds Purse.
Perhaps my favourite of all the Shepherds Purse cheeses.
Love all of the cheeses from the range
Lovely delicious cheeses beautifully packed presented and delivered on time
I love Shepherd’s Purse cheese so much! Northern Blue and Old York are particular favourites. Shame they’re not readily available but ordering is easy and they are delivered well.
Recipient’s very pleased with the gift from Yorkshire
My favourite is Harrogate Blue, which I have previously bought from a local farm shop. Also tried Mrs Bell's Blue and Northern Blue. All delicious and not too strong for blue cheeses. Not tried them in any recipes yet, we are just happy to eat them as they are.
Delicious cheese, one of my saving graces as I can only have buffalo milk based cheese due to intolerances to cows, goats and sheeps milk. This is one creamy delicious blue cheese that is a must to add to the cheese board. I feel like I have traded up now that I have found this compared to cows milk blue cheeses. Keep working your miracles Shepherds Purse Team! One very happy customer 😁.
Excellent cheese, excellent service
Super duper.
Perfect, mellow and so flavoursome. Would recommend to all-not overly strong. We love it.
Lovely tasting, smooth and cuts into good size for crackers.
Never tried this cheese before so was interested to see how it fared compared to others. Love the flavour the texture and am keen to try again
