Wensleydale

a style of cheese originally produced in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, England, but now mostly made in large commercial creameries throughout the United Kingdom.The style of cheese originated from a monastery of French Cistercian monks who had settled in northern England, and continued to be produced by local farmers.
