For cheese we need Sally churning (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wensleydale

'for cheese' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'we need sally churning' is the wordplay.
'churning' is an anagram indicator.
'need'+'sally'='needsally'
'needsally' is an anagram of 'nsleydale'.
'we'+'nsleydale'='WENSLEYDALE'

(Other definitions for wensleydale that I've seen before include "Say, we'll need (anag); a cheese" , "4 across" , "Type of white cheese" , "White crumbly variety of cheese" , "Yorkshire cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
