I picked up a half-pound of Wensleydale with cranberries the other day.
If you've seen the animated "Wallace and Gromit" films, Wensleydale is
their favorite cheese.

It's like a light Stilton, crumbly and moist, and the embedded
cranberries go extremely well. I don't see it around too often, and it
isn't cheap, typically $16 / pound. I've never seen it without the
cranberries, although it supposedly comes in a number of different
flavors. It makes a good snack.

I've only gotten it from local markets; I have not tried mail-order. I
have seen it sporadically at Publix, and this last purchase was from
Winn-Dixie.

Wensleydale is also my favourite cheese! But without the cranberries.

Crumbly and acidic, I like it best in a sandwich with lettuce and a
touch of Marmite.

I was lucky enough to discover it as a youngster when we went on holiday
to Yorkshire and visited the Hawes creamery and can thankfully just buy
it off the shelf in my local supermarket for the same price as any other
of the regional cheeses routinely available.

Tesco sell a version with mango and ginger. Not tried it yet but am
thinking of giving it a go.

The every day commercial Wensleydale is made with pasteurised cow's
milk.

Commercial Wensleydale is made with cow's milk so all the more for me!

That's mean. What has a business in a small village in Yorkshire ever
done to hurt you?

I have never seen it as plain cheese. It always has something else in it.

The look to be similar; at Winn-Dixie I paid $8.00 for a 1/2 pound
wedge. They had small wheels as well, but I did not pay attention to the
price.

Except at Amazon you don't have to pay shipping right to your door if
you spend $35, which is easy to do, IF you have $35, dwarf.

I feel as you do. I like fruit *with* my cheese not *in* my cheese.

Straight from the manufacturer -

http://www.wensleydale.co.uk/5-traditional-cheeses

I pay £3 a pound in my usual supermarket - less if they are doing a buy
one, get another one cheaper, offer - but we eat a lot of region cheeses
in the UK so you would expect it to be a decent price.
