Delicate cheese made with Yorkshire lavender and milk from affable English ewes
£13.50
They thought we were bonkers. Yet the unlikely pairing of cheese and lavender makes a mind-blowingly delicious cheese.
Made with ewes’ milk, we roll the cheese in dried lavender flowers. Left to mature over a number of weeks, the delicate lavender flavour infuses the creamy, crumbly cheese to stunning effect. It launched in 2003 and with its unique balance of flavour, Katy’s White Lavender is fantastic on any cheese board and delightful in salads too.

Suitable for vegetarians.
Katy’s White Lavender is matured in Yorkshire Lavender. Combined with the meadowy sweetness of ewes’ milk, this delicately fragrant cheese is a genuine taste sensation. If you want to spark a conversation around the cheeseboard, pick this.
No one loves Shepherds Purse cheese more than us - always have stock in the fridge. Tried this lavender cheese for a change - no no no! Some might like the perfumed smell and taste but we’ll stick to the proper untampered blues and other cheeses which taste and smell of cheese. Sorry - not nice.
It’s my favourite
Smooth, delicious, delicately aromatic.
Beautiful with cranberry & walnut loaf from cottage bakery. We suspect it will complement rough oatcakes very well too.
In fact a truckle of this, some oatcakes & a Yorkshire ale of some kind will be my lunch of choice for watching Le Tour come through Yorkshire.
An excellent cheese I first tried in Booths Scotforth Lancaster - then i moved away to Scotland. To my delight, I tried this cheese again this summer at the Black Horse pub in Whitby. Moved back to Lancaster a couple of months ago and am informed by Booths that they no longer stock Katy's White !! Aaghr, so hard to get this wonderful cheese.
In 2013 when down near Chatsworth House to celebrate my mother in law's birthday, my husband and I wandered into the Chatsworth House farm shop/deli to see what we could find. We love gourmet shops so we were in heaven. It was there I noticed the Lavender cheese and was instantly intrigued. We bought a truckle and on the road trip back home up to Scotland I nearly ate the whole thing. It was simply beautiful.
The delicate but at the same time not so shy lavender just lingers on you taste buds enough to make you want more. Just lovely. Since then I have been pleased to find you can ship it up to us and when I put it out with oatcakes on a cheeseboard it never disappoints. Beautiful cheese, I'm now searching for more ways to use it in cooking. I've also ordered a good amount to share with family members coming up to visit.
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
