Somerdale
| Somerdale Wensleydale with Lemon and Honey is a PGI-protected British blended cheese from North Yorkshire, made from pasteurized cow's milk with vegetarian microbial rennet. Aged for about three weeks, it has a semi-hard, moist, crumbly texture enhanced by lemon curd and honey, creating a zesty, sweet, lactic flavor. Produced at the Wensleydale Creamery using milk from local family farms, it ensures traceability and safety. Its dessert cheese profile pairs well with wines like Gewürztraminer and beers like Hefeweizen. The cheese's artisanal heritage dates back to 12th-century Cistercian monks, preserving traditional production amid modern innovation. | |
