This Month's Cheeses
The Neal’s Yard Dairy Subscription showcases three different cheeses each month, connected in some way by a location, season, recipe or occasion. Though August may have begun with a bit of drizzle, we are an optimistic bunch, and are hoping for a sunny day or two before the end of the month. Even without some clear skies, there is still a lot of joy in a damp British summer- packing up a rucksack, throwing on an anorak and continuing whatever plans we had made regardless. This month’s selection will help see you through and has been selected with summer snacking in mind. The bright, lemony Karst is delicious on crusty bread for a light lunch. Pevensey Blue’s creamy texture makes for a tasty dessert, why not add some honey and walnuts to contrast its saltiness. Last but not least, we have Whin Yeats Wensleydale. This traditional English style is the perfect cheese for summer months, mellow with a yoghurt-y brightness. Enjoy it in a salad with fresh garden peas, or let it shine by itself and eat hunks from the cheeseboard. By savouring this cheeseboard, you are helping to support the makers of British and Irish cheese, preserving time-honoured cheesemaking traditions and fostering exciting new ones, too. We hope you enjoy them.
Pevensey Blue
A creamy, hazelnut like blue, the flavour of which deepens as it matures into something salty and sweet with a fondant texture.
Karst
Karst is delicate and creamy, with fresh and lemony notes. It is the sister cheese to St Tola and shares a similar flavour profile.
Minimum: 150g.

About the Subscription Hub
The cheese we work with is strongly founded in a sense of community, from cheesemakers sharing recipes and tips, to the shared efforts of maturation between cheesemaker and affineur, to the departments within Neal's Yard Dairy tasting and talking about cheese together on a daily basis. The NYD subscription hub aims to bring this sense of community to our loyal subscription customers - a place to discover, discuss and delight in the cheeses you receive each month.
