The theft involved a fraudulent buyer posing as a legitimate wholesale distributor for a major French retailer, revealing the depth of deception in the cheese heist.
The high monetary value of these cheeses likely made them a particular target for the thieves, who made off with 950 wheels of multiple award-winning cheddars.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver lamented the theft, emphasizing the rarity of authentic cheddar makers, which deepens both economic impact and cultural loss for Britain.
Neal's Yard Dairy is shouldering the cost of the crime and taking steps to ensure its own financial stability while supporting the artisan cheese sector.
