A “fraudulent buyer posing as a legitimate wholesale distributor for a major French retailer” tricked Neal’s Yard Dairy, a company that produces and distributes British artisan cheese.
Before the scam was uncovered, more than 950 wheels of Hafod, Westcombe, and Pitchfork Cheddar—worth approximately £300,000—were supplied.
Oliver said, “There has been a great cheese robbery,” to his 10.5 million Instagram fan base.
“The world’s finest cheddar cheese has been stolen.”
He described it as a “real shame” and stated, “If anyone hears anything about posh cheese going…”
Therefore, I’m not sure what they’re going to do with the lorryloads of fancy cheese that I’ve heard about.
Will they remove it from the fabric, cut it, grate it, and discard it in the commercial sector of the fast food industry? I’m not sure, but Nicking seems like a rather strange thing.
