Shepherds Purse

Formerly known as Yorkshire Feta, Yorkshire Fettle was one of the very first cheeses developed by Judy Bell in 1987.

Adapted from a traditional Feta recipe, our Yorkshire Fettle is made with 100% fresh ewes’ milk and each cheese is hand-salted.

The hand-salting and quality whole ewes’ milk help to deliver the Gold medal award-winning flavour – a balance of piquant and salty yet meadowy sweet flavours is delivered by a slightly crumbly, rich and creamy texture.

In 2007 we had our wrists slapped over the name Yorkshire Feta and a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) was awarded to the Greeks, which meant that to call a cheese Feta it could only be made in Greece. We prefer cheesemaking in Yorkshire, so now call it Yorkshire Fettle, which we’re told is better anyway!
