Wensleydale Creamery Unveils Limited-Edition Wallace & Gromit Cheese Truckles Ahead of New Movie Release

Wensleydale Creamery has launched five limited-edition Wallace & Gromit-themed cheese truckles. Inspired by the animated characters, the collection celebrates the quintessential British duo ahead of their return to screens in “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” due for release on the BBC at Christmas and Netflix globally on Jan. 3.

Based at Hawes in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Wensleydale Creamery handcrafts specialty cheese to time-honored recipes using milk from local farms while being innovative in its approach to the development of new cheese recipes.

The range includes a selection of 150g and 200g cheese truckles, three uniquely shaped in the likeness of characters from the Wallace & Gromit films. Creamy, crumbly and flavorful, the Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese truckle features the cheese-loving inventor Wallace. In contrast, the Creamery’s best-selling Yorkshire Wensleydale & Cranberries, which combines the delicate fruity succulence of sweet cranberries with Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, displays Wallace’s loyal pooch Gromit on the truckle. The new feature-length film will see the return of the penguin supervillain Feathers McGraw, who can be seen on the Mature Cheddar cheese truckle.

Two of the Creamery’s most popular cheese truckles, Yorkshire Wensleydale and Yorkshire Wensleydale & Cranberries, have also been given a refresh with packaging that features the iconic duo – Wallace & Gromit – together on the packaging.

“Wallace’s fondness for cheese has helped raise awareness for our classic Yorkshire Wensleydale and we’re proud to be partnering with Aardman again to celebrate the release of the new film by creating a unique range for our original cheeses,” says Sandra Bell, marketing manager, Wensleydale Creamery. “Wallace and Gromit are not only well-loved characters here at the Creamery but are regarded as British national treasures and we hope our limited-edition range will bring a smile to our nation of cheese lovers. We can’t wait to see them on shelves!”

“Wensleydale Creamery is our longest-standing Wallace & Gromit licensee and we’re delighted to continue this fantastic relationship with the launch of these special truckles,” says Laura Burr, senior brand manager, Aardman. “Cheese, particularly Wensleydale, has always been important to Wallace, so teaming up with such an iconic British cheesemaker again feels like a perfect fit. We’re excited to bring a taste of Wallace & Gromit’s world to fans, with these delicious truckles embodying all the fun and charm of their adventures.”
