Cotherstone

Cotherstone is a varied cheese that can range from fresh, flaky and acidic to smooth and custardy. This variation can be seen in its rind too which can be orange and sticky or pale fluffy grey

Created by Joan and Alwin Cross in Teesdale, Cotherstone cheese is related to Wensleydale and Swaledale and named after a village and parish in County Durham in England.

Suitable for vegetarians, this semi-hard, farmhouse cheese is made from unpasteurised, full-fat Jersey cow’s milk. Cotherstone belongs to a group called ‘Dale style’ cheeses which are soft and crumbly in texture, lemony and slightly tangy to taste and tend to be eaten younger.

There are two versions of Cotherstone - a white version and blue-veined version which is sometimes referred to as "Yorkshire Stilton".

Cotherstone is normally used in the preparation of tarts and pastry dishes. It teams well with a Sauvignon
