Artisan cheesemaker Shepherds Purse have extended the listings of their iconic Yorkshire Blue and Harrogate Blue cheeses in Sainsbury’s across the North of England.
The two award-winning blue cheeses have been available in 27 predominantly Yorkshire Sainsbury’s stores for several years, but the extended listing will see them on the shelves of an additional 67 across Cumbria, South Yorkshire, Northumberland, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire and Cheshire from this month.
A long-standing retail partner to Shepherds Purse, Sainsbury’s launched Yorkshire Blue into regional Yorkshire stores in the early 2000’s with Harrogate Blue following shortly after its launch in 2012.
Zach Nolan, Speciality Cheese Buyer for Sainsbury’s said: “The extension of this listing and our partnership with Shepherds Purse is the perfect pairing. Their commitment to creating award-winning artisan cheese and Sainsbury’s dedication to stocking high-quality, local products is a match made in heaven. We look forward to even more of our customers across the North being able to sample their delicious products.”
