The artisan cheese world is a place where trust is deeply embedded in all transactions. It might have caused the company a setback, but the degree of trust that exists within our small industry as a whole is due in no small part to the ethos of Neal's Yard Dairy's founders.
The process of making that cheese started almost three years ago, when we planted seeds for the animals' feed. The amount of work that's gone into nurturing the cows, emphasising best farming practice, and transforming the milk one batch at a time to produce the best possible cheese is beyond estimation. And for that to be stolen it's absolutely terrible.
More than 22 tonnes of three artisan cheddars, including Hafod Welsh, Westcombe, and Pitchfork were taken, which are all award-winning and have a high monetary value.
Neal's Yard said it had still paid the producers of the cheese so the individual dairies would not have to bear the costs. It is now trying to deal with the financial setback, a spokesperson said.
