It was a shocking turn of events for Neal's Yard Dairy, a well-known London cheese firm, as they fell victim to a brazen heist that has been dubbed the "Grate Cheese Robbery" by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. The thieves managed to scam the company out of a whopping 950 wheels of their luxury cheddar, totaling 22 tonnes in weight.
According to reports, the fraudsters posed as a wholesale distributor for a major French retailer and convinced Neal's Yard Dairy to deliver the cheese to them. It wasn't until after the delivery that the company realized they had been duped in a clever scam. The firm has since stated that they will still honor payments to the three small-scale producers who made the cheese, despite the significant financial loss they will incur.
Neal's Yard Dairy is currently working with the police to identify the perpetrators of this crime. The Metropolitan Police have released a statement confirming that they are investigating the matter. Meanwhile, the cheese producers who supplied the stolen cheese, including Hafod, Westcombe, and Pitchfork, are urging people to be on the lookout for the cheddar.
Westcombe, one of the suppliers, took to their Instagram page to ask for the public's help in finding the stolen cheese. They emphasized the unique characteristics of the cheese, such as being clothbound and in either a 10kg or 24kg format with detached tags, and urged anyone who might have come across it to contact them or Neal's Yard Dairy.
The news of this heist has caused quite a stir in the cheese world, with many expressing their shock and disbelief. Even Jamie Oliver took to his Instagram page to post about the incident, describing it as an "epic" robbery. He also shared a timeline of the events and urged his followers to be on the lookout for the stolen cheese.
In the midst of this unfortunate situation, Neal's Yard Dairy has remained determined to recover the stolen cheese and has called on cheesemakers from around the world to help in their efforts. They have also assured the public that they will continue to provide their high-quality cheese, despite the significant setback they have faced. Let's hope that with the help of the community, the stolen cheese will be found and justice will be served for Neal's Yard Dairy.
