The Swaledale Cheese Company Ltd.

Swaledale Cheese Company can trace its artisan cheesemaking craft all the way back to the 11th century. The Cistercian monks are believed to have created the original recipe using ewe’s milk and passed on the cheese making techniques to the local farmers of Swaledale. Over the centuries the recipe has been passed on from one generation to another and is the same recipe that we still use today.
