It is safe to assume that working at Neal's Yard Dairy means you are going to enjoy a cheeseboard or two, and an important part of our day is tasting cheese.

This selection is made up of the cheeses our team has been enjoying recently, the standouts from an already delicious bunch. Picked by our ecommerce team with autumn in mind, we hope you enjoy them too.

Daria's Choice:

My favourite at the moment is Hafod, as I recently visited Bwlchwernen Fawr to make it and to learn about their farming practices. The team there dedicate themselves to their land, animals, and cheese with passion and determination, and we reap the benefits of their work by getting to savour this delicious cheese! I find its rich, complex flavours pair well with something bright and vinegar-y like red onion marmalade or cornichons.

Amy's choice:

I've chosen Brightwell Ash because it's just delicious! There is something slightly autumnal about the ash covered rind at this time of year, and it always looks beautiful on a cheeseboard. Brightwell Ash has been one of my stand outs lately, and it makes a great breakfast smothered across toast. 

Miranda's choice:

At this time of year I always reach for Appleby's Cheshire. As soon as the leaves start to drop, I crave it. I love its bright, savoury flavours and the dry yet succulent texture. It works really well as a Ploughmans cheese so put a slice on a heavily buttered doorstop of bread and eat with a crisp apple and a pickled onion. 

Magda's choice:

I've selected Yarlington because it's a cheese newly available to order from us online and I've been enjoying getting to know it. It has an indulgently silky texture that I like to pair with a buttery white wine. I've also melted the cheese into a bechamel and found that the rind added a lovely smokey hint to the creamy sauce. Perfect comfort food as the evenings draw in.
