## Description

Shepherds Purse Artisan Cheeses is a renowned brand that has been producing high-quality dairy alternatives for cow's milk allergy sufferers since the late 1980s. Founded by Judy Bell, who discovered her passion and talent for cheese-making, the brand quickly gained recognition, winning its first Gold award in 1989 at the Nantwich International Cheese Show with Olde York. Awards have remained an integral part of Shepherds Purse, with their Harrogate Blue being named in the top 15 cheeses in the world at the World Cheese Awards in 2017. With a commitment to organic growth, Shepherds Purse expanded its range beyond sheep milk to include cow's milk and water buffalo milk cheeses. Today, the brand is known for their exceptional blue cheeses such as Yorkshire Blue and Harrogate Blue, as well as their sheep milk Mediterranean salad-style cheese, Mrs Bell's Salad Cheese, and their sheep milk blue, Mrs Bell's Blue. As a proud and independent family business, Shepherds Purse continues to make cheese in the traditional way on their farm in North Yorkshire. Led by Judy's daughters Katie and Caroline, the passionate team of 35 artisans strive to deliver outstanding cheeses that satisfy cheese lovers and cater to specific dietary needs.
