Murray's
pronounced "whens-lee-dale"
| Murray’s Wensleydale with Cranberries is an English cheese from Wensleydale Creamery, North Yorkshire, with Protected Geographical Indication status. Introduced in 1996, it features a fresh, crumbly yet creamy texture made from pasteurized cow's milk and vegetarian microbial rennet. The cheese balances lactic acidity with honeyed undertones and tart cranberries. It is aged about three weeks, has high moisture content, and is prized for its open, friable texture. Pairings include port, fruity white wines, wheat beers, and fruitcake. Spoilage signs are yeast, mold, sliminess, or ammonia. Its popularity was boosted by "Wallace & Gromit." | |
