WELCOME TO SHEPHERDS PURSE CHEESES

We've been making speciality cheese for over 35 years, since our mum, Judy Bell, discovered her passion for nutritious milk and her talent for cheesemaking. Today our team of cheesemakers handcraft our award-winning range using the finest cow's milk, sheep milk and water buffalo milk.

Cheesey gift for a friend

Greatly appreciated by our friend in London who used to live in Yorkshire. She loved the variety in the gift box.

Barry
Another great selection

We regularly order a selection of the blue cheeses and love them all. Shepherds Purse very kindly sent me some blumin white some months ago. It's now on my regular orders! These cheeses are exceptional so I rarely eat anything other cheese. Very well done SP.

Bernard Farrant
Beautiful Blue

Beautiful blue cheese that tastes beautiful

Beverley Purkiss-Dean
Can't fault this delicious cheese

A cheese with a smooth taste, with no bitterness or dryness

John Paton
Bluemin white - Blummin tasty

Creamy blue flavour smooth cheese with a rind. Very nice and would recommend as nothing like it in the supermarket

Nick Paulin
Bluemin White

A beautifully sharp delicious cheese - gorgeous!

Jacqui B
It’s a thing of beauty

This dish is epic, I love it. The bluemin loved it too. Perfectly baked cheese - yum!

Sam
Another delicious Shepherds Purse cheese

Subtle, tangy taste - perfect with oat cakes. Yummy.

Tim Farnhill
Buffalo Blue

Softer and creamier than most blue cheeses. Our favourite.

DS

Truly Delicious Taste

Stephen Heslop
excellent gift

I ordered the Baked Bluemin Box as a gift for my son's birthday. Everything from ordering to delivery was smooth and easy and the recipients comment was ' it was good - give it 5 stars'

Brenda H
Buffalo Blue

This is a lovely creamy blue cheese. I love all of Shepherd’s Purse cheeses so it’s good to have alternative types of blue cheese and this one ranks highly.

The same family farm where it all started over three decades ago, our dedicated team are buzzing away from very early in the morning until tea time each day, fuelled by the passion (and proper Yorkshire Tea) to create our world-class, unique cheeses.
