"Beautiful, creamy buttery moist, full bodied. Savoury and salty. Becomes creamier in the mouth. Exceptional and moist, perfect cheese." Victoria Urresti - Cheese Expert and World Cheese Awards Top 16 Judge.

"Exceptional cheese, incredible lingering taste in the mouth. So much personality, it is an honour to taste this" Roland Barthelemy - Cheese Expert and World Cheese Awards Top 16 Judge.

Harrogate Blue is a stunning addition to any cheese board, golden-bodied and matured for a minimum of 10 weeks, the optimum time for the cheese to develop exactly the right depth of flavour and creaminess.

The cheese has been a hit since day one, winning its first award just two weeks after launch in 2012. It has a special place in the history of Shepherds Purse as it was the first cheese co-produced by Katie and Caroline (Judy's daughters) after taking over the running of the speciality cheese company.

Harrogate Blue has won many top awards on the international cheese stage since, including a Super Gold and was judged to be the 11th best cheese in the world at the World Cheese Awards in London in 2017/18 and then a Gold in Bergen, Norway 2018/19, and another Gold in Bergamo, Italy 2019/20.

Love it

I just love this cheese. It is my favourite blue cheese. I used to get it from Ocado but when they stopped selling I bought it directly. Thoroughly recommended.

Choices

We had a selection of cheeses to take on holiday, from lunch time salads to evening nibbles. The only problem was selecting which blue cheese to order as although they are all slightly different they all taste great. Settled on Harrogate this time which was very tasty but didn't last very long. Well deserved 5 stars. Best wishes to the family and team responsible who operate in the middle of nowhere 👍😎😁

No Better Blue

I really believe that no better blue cheese is being made in England than the Harrogate Blue. Many others are on a par but the creamy kick of the Harrogate Blue puts it right at the top of my favourites list.
