Wensleydale Creamery, located in England, specializes in producing the traditional Wensleydale cheese. This creamery is noted for its heritage dating back to the 12th century, originally established by Cistercian monks. It focuses on crafting cheeses that are PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) accredited, ensuring Wensleydale cheese is made exclusively in and around the town of Hawes in Wensleydale.

The Creamery plays a crucial economic role in the region, supporting local farming by sourcing milk from over 40 farms.
