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.

Delivered on date requested and great to find a supplier of Blue Monday.

A Perfect Gift

I bought this as a gift for family and apparently it went down well. They voted the Harrogate Blue to be the 'best cheese in the world' so I need to try some myself!

Great Cheese

Fantastic cheese delivery promptly and very impressive packaging

Excellent service, excellent cheese.

I enjoyed this on olive panini but other cheeses in my order definitely surpassed it. So, all a question of personal taste.
