About Wallace and Gromit
Wallace and Gromit, the beloved stop-motion animated characters created by Aardman Animations, have become synonymous with cheese in British culture. The eccentric inventor Wallace and his intelligent dog Gromit have maintained a nearly 30-year partnership with Wensleydale Creamery, making their licensed cheese products a fixture in UK supermarkets. The partnership began on Christmas Eve 1995 when A Close Shave aired on BBC2, featuring Wallace declaring his love for Yorkshire Wensleydale. The creamery was facing financial difficulties at the time, but after the broadcast, sales began to rise dramatically. Wensleydale Creamery credits Wallace and Gromit with saving the brand from bankruptcy, leading to a formal licensing agreement that continues today as Aardman's longest-standing food partnership. In 2024, Wensleydale Creamery launched five limited-edition Wallace and Gromit themed cheese truckles to celebrate the release of "Vengeance Most Fowl." The range includes Yorkshire Wensleydale, Yorkshire Wensleydale with Cranberries, and Mature Cheddar varieties in character-shaped formats. Additional licensed products include cheese gift boxes and even a Wallace and Gromit inspired pasty from Carrs Pasties.
