Dovedale cheese PDO Protected Designation of Origin

Dovedale Cheese is a full-fat soft blue-veined cheese made exclusively within fifty miles of Dovedale, England. It has a cylindrical shape and is crafted using milk sourced from local farms. The production process includes pasteurization, the addition of starter cultures, blue mold cultures, and rennet, followed by curd cutting, draining, hoop filling, brining, and piercing. The cheese matures under controlled conditions, influenced by the region's climate and traditional cheesemaking skills. Dovedale Cheese is only produced within its designated geographical area using time-honored methods passed down through local cheesemakers.
