He actually likes the way "Wensleydale" made Wallice show his teeth when he said it. It's in early interviews.

Monty Python didn’t help? Wensleydale had a special place in the cheese shop skit.

Surely they also chose Wensleydale because it's from Yorkshire, like Wallace??

Blue Wensleydale is delicious, if the OG doesn't do it. By far the best British blue cheese in my opinion.

My husband is touring musician, and when our kid was little and was glued to Wallace and Gromit, he asked him to bring home Wensleydale cheese from England. He did. 😂

I appreciate that this has created more availability because personally I don’t like a strong cheese

Did they SAVE it or just increase their market share?

Wensleydale is so mild and boring…but a lot of people like boring cheese, so I’m glad they found a new one they like and it helps the farmers.
