There are over 700 cheeses produced in Britain today, from classic cheddars to more unusual modern varieties. There are over 700 cheeses produced in Britain today, from classic cheddars to more unusual modern varieties, but just sixty years ago, Britain's cheese industry was in a downward spiral. World War II and its rationing system had forced all cheesemakers, both big and small, to produce a single type of cheese called Government Cheddar – meaning all the unique farmhouse varieties almost became extinct. Neal's Yard Dairy changed that. Today, the UK is home to some of the best cheeses globally and is held in the same high regard as heavyweights such as France and Italy. Join us as we explore the cheeses of Britain, old and new. PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO PRESENT YOUR VACCINATION CARD TO ATTEND. PLEASE BRING IT WITH YOU.
