    Strong, steely and sweet, in other words, Northern! 

    A powerhouse blue cheese with serious credentials. Deliciously creamy and luxuriously more-ish.

    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.

    Allergen Information:

    Made from MILK (pasteurised).

    Suitable for vegetarians.

    A great Blue Cheese

    This is a premium, medium-firmness blue cheese. We thoroughly enjoy it. I also enjoy the challenge of being able to separate the sealing sticky label from the delicate foil wrapping without tearing either. Very satisfying when you succeed.

    A blue to lift the blues

    Another lovely cheese from the very talented people at Shepherds Purse. Well balanced with a lovely texture.
