Cheese Of The Week: Parlick Fell Pure Sheep's Milk Cheese
July 15, 2013 | 1 min to read
Singleton’s Parlick Fell Sheep Cheese is tied to one specific terroir: the fells of Northern England. These hills are rough, treeless, uncultivated upland regions used for grazing livestock. In particular, Parlick is made of the milk of sheep grazed on one hill, Parlick Fell, in Lancashire.
According to Singleton’s Cheese, Duillia Singleton was born in 1879, and began crafting traditional Lancashire cheeses in Longridge, near Beacon Fell, in 1921. Singleton’s dairy was born in 1934. The company is today run by her great granddaughter, Tilly Carefoot.
Singleton’s produces a line of traditional Cheddars and award-winning Lancashire cheeses, all made from the milk of cows raised within 12 miles of the dairy. Parlick Fell, where the sheep are grazed for Parlick sheep cheese, is about five miles from Longridge.
