    A favourite of Rick Stein and Raymond Blanc, Mrs Bell's Blue is as creamy as her sister cheese, our Yorkshire Blue, but distinct in appearance via its whiter coloured body, contrasting beautifully with the blue/green veins.

    Mrs Bell's Blue is made from the finest quality sheep milk. We produce in small vats and after the first 24 hours of turning and formation, we hand salt each cheese. Each batch is then matured for a minimum of 10 weeks. This achieves the complex blue flavour that’s comparable to Roquefort but creamier and mellower.

    Mrs Bell's Blue launched in 1995 and made an immediate mark by winning two gold medals and Reserve Supreme Champion at the prestigious Nantwich International Cheese Show. It is our most awarded cheese on the international stage having won more than 75 top awards over the years!

    Sets the standard

    This blue cheese sets the standard for all other such cheeses. In my book, it is only challenged by Mrs Bell's own Buffalo Blue.

    I LOVE this cheese. It really is fantastic. Unfortunately one of the two packets I ordered was badly discoloured compared to normal, to the point that it didn't feel right to eat. It had gone quite 'brown'. Fortunately it was the one I kept for myself. The other was absolutely fine (given to my Christmas hosts). Thought Shepherd's Purse should know, especially as you are such a great company, in every which way. I had the pleasure of visiting you in Yorkshire a few years ago! I must have just been unlucky, as this is normally SUCH a good cheese. It's a blue cheese after all......
