Founded by Ben and Sam Spence in 2019, Curlew Dairy is a micro dairy with a commitment to traditional cheesemaking methods and the rich agricultural heritage of the Yorkshire Dales. Nestled in Wensleydale, Yorkshire, they are dedicated to hand making traditional farmhouse Wensleydale cheeses in small batches using unpasteurised milk from a small local herd of Holstein and Ayrshire cows. Their handcrafted cheeses include: Yoredale Wensleydale: a smooth and buttery cheese made using a traditional slow recipe, offering the characteristic lemony acidity of Wensleydale with mineral, earthy tones near the rind. Millerwood Smoked Wensleydale: an oak-smoked variant of their classic Wensleydale, providing a subtle smoked aroma and taste that complements the cheese's texture and flavour. Yoredale Blue: a blue version of their traditional Wensleydale, featuring a smooth and soft texture with a mellow, spicy-blue flavour. Wetherfell Frying Cheese: a 'squeaky' cheese perfect for grilling, frying, or barbecuing, offering a soft and chewy interior with a crispy exterior when cooked.
