Cows. Vegetarian. Unpasteurised.
This is indeed a unique and unusual British Territorial.
Made very small scale on a farm in Teesdale. Purposefully designed to be eaten young, and as such has a fresh, buttery, citrusy, and noticeably acidic taste. It is mild and creamy with a crumbly, open and moist texture with a waxed rind. A clear mushroom, earthy flavour can sometimes be found directly under the rind, where the cheese is much softer and richer. Related to Wensleydale but very much with its own identity.
