Fine Fettle Yorkshire is a British sheep's milk cheese in the style of a young brined white cheese. It comes from the United Kingdom, and the name points to Yorkshire without naming one town on the card. The paste is soft, white, and slightly crumbly, with a tangy, lemony, and salty taste. There is no rind. It was once sold under a name that used the word feta, and sellers changed that name because the word feta is kept for the Greek cheese.
