The Wensleydale Creamery Wallace & Gromit packs have been launched by the cheese brand as a series of products that pay homage to the namesake claymation duo in celebration of their latest film.
The limited-edition branding can be observed on five products ranging from 150-grams to 200-grams that put Wallace, Gromit and Feathers McGraw in the spotlight. The various cheese branding are arriving in celebration of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl that will be shown on BBC One in the UK on Christmas Day as well as globally on Netflix starting January 3, 2025.
Marketing Manager Sandra Bell spoke on the Wensleydale Creamery Wallace & Gromit packs saying, "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 of our original cheeses. 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!”
