New! Organic Yorkshire Blue
from £6.00
Mediterranean salad style cheese made with milk from lovely English ewes
£12.80
This is Yorkshire's version of the traditional Mediterranean salad style cheese and it's been made by Judy Bell and her team in Yorkshire since 1987. A very easy cheese to enjoy on your cheese board, in a salad or in your favourite dish.
Made with whole ewes’ milk, we hand make and hand-salt each cheese to encourage the piquant, lemony flavour and slightly crumbly texture. Matured over a minimum of two weeks, the salt infuses the whole cheese. We then hand-wax each truckle to lock in the fresh flavour and creamy texture and continue to mature on in our cheese stores until ready.
Originally it had another name but we renamed it Yorkshire Fettle in 2008 due to Greece being awarded the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) for the name Feta. In 2022 it was renamed Mrs Bell's Salad Cheese in memory of our wonderful founder.
This was Judy Bell’s very first cheese, produced first in 1987 and then launched as a product in 1989. It’s won international awards, and was featured on Paul Hollywood's BBC One cooking program, Pies & Puds.

Yorkshire Fettle is a distinctively creamy cheese combining a soft, slightly crumbly texture with a sweet piquant flavour.
I’ve bought this cheese previously and it’s one of our favourites. It’s nice and clean tasting, slightly sharp cheese and versatile . As well as in salads it’s delicious grilled ( oil, chilli flakes and coriander seeds ) on top of some butter beans.
Tried this today at Harrogate Fine Food Show ... So good we went straight to the nearest retailer (Fodder, Harrogate) to buy some to take home!
Definitely in stocking it at our Cafe .....
My cousin visited from Yorkshire and, knowing I'm allergic to cow's milk, brought me a half moon of Fettle as a treat. What a find! For the first time I ate and enjoyed this style of cheese with absolutely no reaction except pleasure! Most of the feta cheeses I have tried seem to have undeclared cow's milk which makes me itch for days.
Saw this cheese in Booths in Barrowford. Thought it looked interesting. Bought it and tried it with biscuits. Amazing! A cross between crumbly Lancashire and Feta!
Smooth, creamy with a slight tang. Its less salty than feta cheese. Delightful :)
Actually has taste.
A semi-soft cheese that goes well with a variety of cheese biscuits. Neutral in tase that would be acceptable to many palettes. Part of my generous evening starts from Shepherds Purse.
We love your blue cheese. Our favourite is the buffalo but as you were out of stock we got the Mrs bells. Both are wonderful and the rolls Royce of blue cheeses. We rarely use anything else now. Many thanks. Is the buffalo cheese available yet?
Absolutely brilliant value for money, excellent packaging, delivered on time, and of course the contents was delicious. 🥰
Slightly soft with creamy texture and just enough hint from the blue veins to create a cheese that goes well with a neutral flavoured biscuit
I bought this selection for my dad for Father's Day.
The delivery arrived promptly as promised and was well packaged.
The cheese apparently was delicious. Sadly I don't live close enough to have nabbed some for myself.
Excellent Cheese, arrived on time in good condition.
Love this cheese so much flavour . Just
T have to order more
This is the second time I’ve ordered this gorgeous blue cheese,. Really love it .
I love this cheese. It has such a clean fresh taste then you are left with a lovely faint smell of lavender. I will definitely be buying more .
We only wish we could still buy this locally/ from Waitrose. Somehow it didn't quite taste the same when ordered online, still delicious, but when delivered it had a stronger sheep aftertaste.
An excellent blue cheese, super creamy with just the right amount of bite, far superior to Stilton in my opinion.
Excellent
Absolutely delicious thank you :)
I love your cheese it’s just amazing … about to place a few bits into my trap 👍
