This Week: British Cheeses & Cider

What is happening with British cheese makers at the moment?

As the food writer Jenny Linford recently mentioned: "The world of British artisan cheese has been dealt a devastating blow by the closure of restaurants, hotels, pubs and cafes. Practically overnight, cheesemakers and cheesemongers who supplied these businesses saw a massive loss of business." (Read more here.)

This week we are offering a selection of British cheeses to support makers hit by the recent economic developments, as well as a pairing with British cider!
