Stonebeck truly reflects the biodiversity of its origins both in terms of the breed of cows and the pastures they graze. When young, the cheeses are fresh with a juicy complexity. As they mature, the flavours deepen and have a long and complex finish. The milk for the cheese comes from a herd of just 30 Northern Dairy Shorthorn cows – a breed native to the Dales that is critically endangered. They subsist on almost exclusively pasture and are milked just once a day between Spring and Autumn which makes this cheese truly seasonal.
Made with raw cow's milk and animal rennet in Nidderdale, Yorkshire.
