Yorkshire Blue
from £4.40
Creamy, steely and sweet. A powerhouse blue cheese made with milk from hard as nails Northern cows.
£8.80
Strong, steely and sweet, in other words, Northern!
A powerhouse blue cheese with serious credentials. Deliciously creamy and luxuriously more-ish, this cheese is is a strong arm to success.
Northern Blue was launched in 2019 as the more powerful and more mature brother to Yorkshire Blue. Aged for a minimum of 10 weeks, we use a stronger strain of Penicillium Roquefort to achieve a more robust blue flavour.
We took the launch batch to Bergamo in Italy to the World Cheese Awards and lo and behold we came back with a Silver medal! Northern Blue is recognisable as a Shepherds Purse signature blue cheese and its extra strength will also please those who like a bit more bite to their blue.

Super duper.
We have been ordering this particular cheese for many months and every single order has been of the highest calibre from the quality of the cheese to the personal attention we have received from the customer services team. 10/10!
Have only just found this deliciously smooth blue cheese full of unctuous flavour purchased at an RHS Craft show in August 2023 but it's now my favourite 💙
I can’t recommend this cheese enough. Initially very buttery, then creamy with a strong blue cheese flavour coming through. I would recommend buying a larger one than you would normally buy as it lasts for a long time, and I’ve found the flavour changes over time which is a cool thing to experience. The last thing I’ll say is that this has been enjoyed by everyone in our house - even those who normally aren’t keen on blue cheese.
I came across shepherds purse online whilst I was looking for something else. I have often bought Yorkshire Blue even before it changed its name. Browsing through the cheeses on offer, I thought this new one looked very interesting, as I am very partial to Roquefort cheese and this looked very similar. I made a point of searching it out in the local shops, and was not disappointed. This is a beautiful, creamy, strong blue cheese. I just cant get enough of it. Nothing else will do now. Teamed with oatmeal biscuits and a spicy tomato chutney, it is sheer heaven
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
