NEW CHEESES on the block
Discover four British cheeses from our partners, cheesegeek – all named after their places of origin, and specially curated by expert Ned Palmer
Traditionally, the great cheeses of Britain were named for the places they came from, like Cheddar, Wensleydale, Caerphilly and Stilton. This selection of 21st-century cheeses also expresses a connection to the land, and six millennia of cheesemaking craft.
