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. As we approach Christmas; a season when we cut and deliver more cheese than at any other time of year, we thought we’d pay homage to some cheesemongers and producers we have a unique connection with. Two cheeses featuring in your selection are made by ex-cheesemongers and the evolution of the third cheese was the result of much collaboration with Neal’s Yard Dairy. October also hailed the opening of a new shop, ‘Magdalen Cheese and Provisions’ in Exeter by two former cheesemongers Jacob and Rachel. Do pay them a visit if you are in the area. And last but not least, 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.

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.
