Yorkshire Fettle Cheese

Read Time: 1 minute(s)

This is Yorkshire’s version of the traditional Mediterranean salad style cheese and has been made by Judy Bell and her team in Thirsk, Yorkshire, since 1987.  It really is a very easy cheese to enjoy on your cheeseboard, in a salad or in your favourite dish.

How Is Yorkshire Fettle Cheese Made?

Made with whole ewes’ milk, Judy and her cheesemakers 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 and locks in the fresh flavour and creamy texture as the cheeses continue to mature on in their cheese stores until ready.

Yorkshire Feta Cheese

Originally it had another name, Yorkshire Feta but it was renamed Yorkshire Fettle (meaning fine order or good shape) in 2008, due to Greece being awarded the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) for the name Feta.

Yorkshire Cheese & Paul Hollywood

The cheese was Judy Bell’s very first cheese, produced first in 1987 and then launched as a product in 1989. It’s since won many international awards and was featured on Paul Hollywood’s BBC One cooking program, Pies & Puds.

Yorkshire Fettle cheese has a wonderfully rich and slightly lemony taste without the saltiness of a traditional Greek feta cheese that can at times be overpowering and harsh.

Based on old-world ideals with a loyalty to our family of local Artisan Cheese producers, we are a small, independently run business dedicated to the time-honoured traditions of the culinary and agricultural world of cheese.

Established recently, Nick Birchall (one of the partners of The Cheese Shop) has worked directly with producers for more than 20 years in order to select cheeses at their peak.

Our small staff of knowledgeable cheesemongers are experts in the field who love teaching through taste. We prioritise education in the art of properly maintaining cheese so that you can be assured of receiving the highest-quality products available.
