Cheese maker celebrates export success

CHEESE maker Shepherds Purse is set to export two of its products into Europe.

Zurich department store Jelmoli is to stock the Thirsk-based business’s Yorkshire Blue and Bells Bluemin White lines.

Shepherds Purse director Katie Matten said: “We are so excited to be exporting our traditionally handmade British blues to such a discerning cheese eating nation.

“We know that Jelmoli offers the finest produce from around the world and that it is hugely popular with Zurchers and nostalgic ex pats in search of a taste of home. 
“We are very proud and passionate about our cheeses and hope they are a hit with the Swiss shopper.”

Shepherds Purse is a family-run business supplying major supermarkets in the UK and specialist cheese shops through wholesalers.
