Somerdale
| Wensleydale Orange and Chocolate by Somerdale is a dessert cheese from North Yorkshire, England, blending authentic, young, crumbly Wensleydale with milk chocolate chips and candied orange peel. Produced by Somerdale, a cheese curator and blender, it’s vegetarian-friendly, gluten-free, and made with pasteurized cow’s milk. With a bright, lactic, honeyed base and sweet, citrus-chocolate notes, it’s best served at room temperature as a “sweet treat.” Store in cheese paper, not plastic, and cut into chunky pieces. It's rooted in historic tradition but offers a modern, festive twist, ideal for after-dinner cheese boards. | |
