Yorkshire's favouirte landmark immortalised via Yorkshire cheese

Yorkshire’s favourite landmark, York Minster, has been re-created in a nod to Yorkshire Day, using more than 75kg of the county’s finest Wensleydale cheese.

Twitter users voted for northern Europe’s largest gothic cathedral as their favourite landmark in Yorkshire (52%) via an Asda poll and a food artist was tasked with constructing the spectacular monument.

Using more than 75kg of Yorkshire’s finest Wensleydale cheese, the cathedral was carved, crafted and sculpted for more than a week by world renowned food artist, Prudence Staite.

Rick Banks, senior buying manager for Asda, said: “We wanted to create something special for Yorkshire Day and what could be better than creating Yorkshire’s favourite landmark - out of Yorkshire cheese.

“We’re committed to working with local suppliers across Yorkshire and we know our consumers across the county are very passionate about buying local and quality products. We hope everyone has a brie-lliant day of celebration this Monday!”

Yorkshire sourced products are household names across the country including Yorkshire Tea, Yorkshire Farmhouse Eggs and Wensleydale cheese.

In addition, in another ode to Yorkshire Day, Asda have renamed their own brand ‘WINE GUMS’ to ‘EE-BY-GUMS’ for one day only.

Asda currently has around 40 Yorkshire suppliers and stocks over 200 local lines across its Yorkshire stores.
