Wensleydale Cheese was Saved by Wallace and Gromit
The now popular British cheese Wensleydale was almost on the brink of extinction in the early ‘90s, but it was saved by a pair of unlikely heroes. Following the popularity of the stop-motion animation “Wallace and Gromit,” references to this beleaguered cheese led to an increase of demand. Now Wensleydale is one of the most popular cheeses in the United Kingdom and around the world.
