Hands down one of the best blues in the UK. Made with ewes milk, like Roquefort, its thinly veiled blue streaks contrast the stark white paste beautifully. Rich, tangy and lusciously creamy, and more subtle than Roquefort.
Shepherds Purse Artisan Cheese Makers from Yorkshire are one of the most award winning producers in the UK and their Mrs Bell's Blue is a firm favourite of ours. The milk's meadowy sweetness and the cheese’s saltiness deliver a rich, complex flavour. The dairy started in the 1980s after Mum, Judy Bell, discovered her passion and talent for cheese making and has grown organically since. Milder than Roquefort but punchy enough for any blue cheese fan. A firm favourite of ours.

Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

Shepherds Purse Artisan Cheeses was established in the late 1980s as they wanted to create quality dairy alternatives for cows milk allergy sufferers. They have grown organically over the years. Having started by making cheese only from sheep’s milk, they extended their range to include cows milk and even water buffalo milk cheeses. Today, they are best known for their blue cheeses, Yorkshire Blue and Harrogate Blue, and for their sheep’s milk Mediterranean salad-style cheese, Yorkshire Fettle, and their sheep’s milk Mrs Bell’s Blue.
