NEAL’S YARD DAIRY FILM: THE BEAUTY OF CHEESEMAKING

Neal’s Yard Dairy is a world renowned cheese shop in London that buys cheese from about seventy cheesemakers on farms around Britain and Ireland and sells the cheese in our two shops in London and to shops and restaurants all over the world.   Many cheeses that are received are aged by Neal’s Yard Dairy staff in maturing rooms in Bermondsey which are in brick railway arches under the main line from London Bridge to Dover.

The staff is also very impressive in that they can heave, toss, and catch heavy cylinders of cheese to be able to place them on the wooden aging shelves! (watch the video to see it!)

This video, created by Neal’s Yard Dairy is an excellent documentation of the cheesemaking process beginning with the animals and terroir and ending with the delivery of cheese to the consumer.  It is really awe inspiring to me to see so much of the work being done by hand.

A coworker shared this video with me and I would like to share it with you. I invite you to take a few moments to really get to know your cheese
