Wensleydale


<Wallace> Not even Wensleydale?

Originally one of Wallace and Gromit's favorite cheese was Wensleydale only because it made Wallace's face look "nice and toothy". As it turns out the Wensleydale cheese factory was strugging at the time and almost went into bankruptcy. The success of Wallace And Gromit brought the factory back from the brink and they are currently a thriving dairy!

I am a big cheese fan, and while I was in the cheese section of a fresh foods store recently I saw a sliver of Wensleydale cheese. Immediately I picked it up and was very impressed by it's great taste! Later I went back and found they actually make Wallace and Gromit labeled cheese... since then I've bought about 3 mini cheese wheels.
