Mrs Bells is a creamy, smooth cheese with blue veins dotted through it.
It is less salty than many other blue cheeses.
Made by Judy Bell of Shepherds Purse Cheeses Ltd in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, she named Mrs Bells Blue Cheese after herself.
She makes it from sheep’s milk from local flocks of sheep, curdled with vegetarian rennet.
The cheeses are aged 10 to 12 weeks.
