More than 22 tonnes of cheddar stolen from Neal's Yard Dairy
bbc.com
Hundreds of truckles of cheddar worth more than £300,000 have been stolen from London cheese specialist Neal’s Yard Dairy.
Fraudsters posing as legitimate wholesalers received the 950 clothbound cheeses from the Southwark-based company before it was realised they were a fake firm.
Neal's Yard said it had still paid the producers of the cheese so the individual dairies would not have to bear the costs.
It is now trying to deal with the financial setback, a spokesperson said.

But ... What does one do with 22 tonnes of cheddar? Is there a cheesy black market? Can you buy a wheel off a guy for Bitcoin?
There is, like there is for olive oil, or maple syrup. Especially if it's authentic. Olive Oil infamously has multiple fakes floating about, where it's something else passed off as olive oil.
Make some really cheesey Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, and pizza.
Really big fondue party
