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.

Great cheese

Bought this as a present for my daughter who loves a blue. She demolished it as it’s delicious. So glad I bought myself one otherwise I wouldn’t have got any.

I tasted it tonight alongside a favourite of mine Blue Monday. It is a mild cheese in comparison and more creamier to my pallet. I enjoyed the taste and look forward to consuming the rest. I will definitely purchase this one again, perhaps a larger piece.
