The Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes is famous the world over as the home of Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, which achieved European Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in December 2013. Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese is the only one actually made in Wensleydale itself - if it doesn’t say Yorkshire Wensleydale, then it’s not from Wensleydale!

The Wensleydale Creamery continues the art of traditional cheese-making which dates back nearly a thousand years, using milk from over 40 local farms to handcraft their delicious range of cheeses. 
It is the milk from these farms, together with the Creamery’s own starter cultures and the skill of its cheese-makers that give Yorkshire Wensleydale its unique, creamy, crumbly and full of flavour taste, that no other cheese-maker can match.
 
Yorkshire Wensleydale can be found in all the major UK food retailers and independent shops and delis around the country, as well as in number of countries worldwide. 2014 saw sales development into countries such as Kuwait, Singapore, Dubai and Australia, with even bigger plans for 2015.

The Wensleydale Creamery is also home to a popular visitor centre where visitors can enjoy the Wensleydale Cheese Experience.  Featuring a museum and cheese-making viewing gallery offering visitors the opportunity to learn all about Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, they can then sample the finished results in the cheese shop & deli as well as tasty homemade dishes in the restaurant and coffee shop. There is also a well-stocked gift shop featuring souvenirs, local art, confectionery, homewares and gift ideas for all the family.
