Wensleydale on a plane?

[Suboptimalsitch]

I’ve googled but am still not sure if Wensleydale cheese will be safe to eat after being in hold baggage and out of a fridge for 7 hours. I don’t won’t to freeze it as the texture goes weird. Im not going anywhere warm. Does anyone know if it’s ok? I don’t want to give anyone a bad stomach. TIA

It'll be fine.
It's cheese. It's already gone off if you think about it.
Real cheese aficionados don't keep cheese in the fridge anyway.

It’s pretty cold in the hold… it’ll be fine. Took me 24hrs to get my Stilton home a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to crack it open!

Yeah it'll be fine. It's colder than a fridge in the hold!

Pack it with those little sandwich ice packs if you need to

Where re you travelling to? Since brexit you can’t take cheese to Europe I don’t think.

Where are you taking it? I don't think there are many places you can bring cheese.

@CoffeeBoy

Yes - no meat or dairy from UK to Europe 🙁

"I've had enough with this motherfucking Wensleydale on this motherfucking plane." - Wallace & Gromit: the wilderness years.

As a pp mentioned, I'd check the regulations re taking cheese to your destination country, but otherwise I don't think 7 hours or so out of the fridge will matter at all.

...the latest Wallace and Gromit thriller. Forget Snakes on a Plane - it's Wensleydale on a Plane

I just googled "travelling with cheese". Sometimes I love mumsnet.

Yes I thought this might be about the slightly less exciting sequel to snakes on a plane

The Yorkshire film industry needs to get this made right fucking now.

Thanks OP, it’s been a while since a MN thread made me properly laugh. I hope you all get your cheese!

I’ve taken cheese back home on 16hr flight (including layover), totally fine. The inside of the suitcase is still chilly when I open it up at home the other end!

we go to the wenslydale factory on a regular basis and the cheeses are not on refridgerated displays so of course it will be fine

Totally, thought 'la yover', was a type of soft French cheese. I'm tired.....and now I want Brie.

Oh no. I’m going to Germany. I never even thought it wouldn’t be allowed. I was just wondering about food safety. Is this one of the many advantages of Brexit. Unable to travel with Wensleydale. I’ll just have to take my pet snake instead.

I opened this thinking you were going to ask how to fly to Wensleydale...

It’s official. I’ve just checked and no meat or dairy allowed to be taken into the EU.

I opened this thinking you were going to ask how to fly to Wensleydale.. lol. That would be fine. Im only 45 miles from there.

I thought this was the name of a new Nicholas Cage movie or something for a second 🤣

How does this work exactly?

I will be travelling from the UK back to my EU country after Christmas (first time since Brexit) and would like to bring a several pack of Wendsleydale back in my hand luggage. Surely it won't get confiscated at security in Manchester as they don't know and don't care which country I'm travelling to? Customs officers at my home airport are usually too busy smoking and/or falling asleep to notice cheese smugglers 😲🤔😅

Perhaps they have specially trained cheese hounds, hide it amongst the dirty socks.

They do confiscate stuff. They will even confiscate your ham sandwich …..though bizarrely I assume they still sell ham sandwiches once you’re past security?

What - not even........ <gulp>....... Wensleydale???!!!
