The theft of 22 metric tons of rare Cheddar worth at least 300,000 pounds has left the British artisanal cheese-making industry reeling, marking a significant crime.
Patrick Holden expressed disbelief, stating, 'Of course, people have bad debts. But theft? I mean, that just doesn't happen,' highlighting the rarity of such incidents in their industry.
The con began when Neal's Yard Dairy received a major order from a seemingly legit distributor tied to a French retailer, leading to unforeseen consequences.
Holden felt flattered initially when a French chain wanted to buy British Cheddar, not realizing this would lead to a dramatic theft in his industry.
