Yorkshire Blue
from £4.40
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.
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 :)
Superb cheese ,found it at the Yorkshire show,what a find
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
I was in Waitrose last week and a lovely lady from the farm was giving out samples. Needless to say I tried them all and bought 3 of them. Just wanted to say my husband absolutely LOVES the Bluemin white, as do I. Wonderful taste and so creamy it melts in your mouth. On my way to buy some more !! Cant wait to try the rest
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!
Thank yoi for the fabulous cheese. So, so happy.
Great tasting cheeses
Such a great gift.
I recently purchased a Bit of Blue gift box, as I had friends coming to stay. This , together with the Bluemin White, were the clear favourites. Such a shame it has been removed from the gift box now. I wonder why that is?
Must say what a beautiful creamy cheese, love the taste. If you have not tried this little gem they give it a try, you will not be disappointed. 👍👍
I bought this from Morrisons a while ago. Personally I think it's the best Blue cheese Iv tasted. Soft with a lovely taste. I bought some more a couple of days ago. I will certainly be buying again. Thank you.
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 💙
A firm favourite
Delicious creamy and smooth
Excellent ... it's no wonder they win awards !!!
