"Beautiful, creamy buttery moist, full bodied. Savoury and salty. Becomes creamier in the mouth. Exceptional and moist, perfect cheese." Victoria Urresti - Cheese Expert and World Cheese Awards Top 16 Judge.

Harrogate Blue is a stunning addition to any cheese board, golden-bodied and matured for a minimum of 10 weeks, the optimum time for the cheese to develop exactly the right depth of flavour and creaminess.
The cheese has been a hit since day one, winning its first award just two weeks after launch in 2012. It has a special place in the history of Shepherd's Purse as it was the first cheese co-produced by Katie and Caroline (Judy's daughters) after taking over the running of the speciality cheese company.
Harrogate Blue has won many top awards on the international cheese stage since, including a Super Gold and was judged to be the 11th best cheese in the world at the World Cheese Awards in London in 2017/18 and then a Gold in Bergen, Norway 2018/19, and another Gold in Bergamo, Italy 2019/20.
