WELCOME TO SHEPHERDS PURSE CHEESES

Delivered on date requested and great to find a supplier of Blue Monday.

A Perfect Gift

I bought this as a gift for family and apparently it went down well. They voted the Harrogate Blue to be the 'best cheese in the world' so I need to try some myself!

Great Cheese

Excellent service, excellent cheese.

I enjoyed this on olive panini but other cheeses in my order definitely surpassed it. So, all a question of personal taste.
