Hundreds of truckles of cheddar worth more than £300,000 have been stolen from London cheese specialist Neal’s Yard Dairy.
Fraudsters posing as legitimate wholesalers received the 950 clothbound cheeses from the Southwark-based company before it was realised they were a fake firm.
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.
Why would you assume there’s a buyer? Maybe these people just really really like cheese
If you ate two pounds of cheese a day every day (about 3700 calories), it would take 66 years to get through all 22 metric tons.
So you’re saying there IS a way!
