Cheese

Apple pie without the cheese?

Cheese in Yorkshire is often equated to Wensleydale, though in truth there are many other local cheeses. (As a visit to Henshelwood's Deli will show.) Try Shepherd's Purse, Coverdale or Jervaux, for instance.

Classic Wensleydale is a mild, white, crumbly cheese with a tangy note, and has been made in the rural Yorkshire town of Hawes since the twelfth century, as this video shows.

Don't be surprised at a café in York if you're asked if you'd like cheese with your rich fruit cake or apple pie, instead of cream. It's a local custom; hence the Yorkshire saying:

Apple pie without the cheese, Is like a kiss without the squeeze.

TIP Betty's Tea Rooms serves Yorkshire Rarebit, made with Yorkshire cheese on toast.
