{"product_id":"swaledale-traditional","title":"Swaledale Traditional","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwaledale Traditional is based on an ancient recipe developed hundreds of years ago and shares much of its character with a farmhouse Wensleydale. A brilliant alternative, but softer and creamier, with more delicate and less astringent flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made from locally sourced milk that carries the terroir of the rich Swaledale meadows and pastures of Yorkshire. The milk is pasteurised before cheesemaking, and the cheese is extra matured, cloth bound and left with a natural rind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the twentieth century the art of cheesemaking declined in Swaledale, and by 1980 only one farm was still producing. When the Longstaff farm stopped, Mrs Marjorie Longstaff passed the original Swaledale process to the founders of the Swaledale Cheese Company. That process has remained unchanged since production began again in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole Swaledale Traditional weighs approximately 3kg.
