BRISTOL, ENGLAND - JANUARY 05: Drinkers enjoy pints of beer which is currently being sold in outlets of the pub chain JD Wetherspoon for 99p a pint on January 5, 2009 in Bristol, England. The company, which operates 713 pubs across the UK, claims it is offering cash-strapped drinkers some cheer, offering "indefinite" reductions on some beer, bottled lager, wine and spirits, plus 2.99 GBP meals. However health charities claim the move may spark a price war and lead to more irresponsible and binge drinking. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)

We have some difficult news to share. Neal's Yard Dairy has been the victim of a theft resulting in the loss of over 22 tonnes of clothbound Cheddar.<br /><br /><br />The theft involved a fraudulent buyer posing as a legitimate wholesale distributor for a major French retailer. Over 950 wheels of Hafod, Westcombe, and Pitchfork Cheddar were delivered before the fraud was discovered. Despite the significant financial blow, we have honoured our commitment to our small-scale suppliers and paid all three artisan cheesemakers in full.<br /><br /><br />We are currently working with law enforcement authorities to identify the perpetrators of this fraud. In the meantime, we would like to put out a call to everyone within our esteemed community of cheesemongers around the world. If anyone is offered or receives cheeses they believe may have been associated with this theft, particularly clothbound Cheddars in a 10kg or 24kg format with the tags detached, please contact info@nealsyarddairy.co.uk so we can support the police in their investigation.
