A Cheesemonger's Compendium of British & Irish Cheese
Each cheese on Ned's cheeseboard is accompanied by a morsel of history or a dash of folklore, a description of its flavours, and an enticing illustration. Along the way Palmer peppers his book with stories of eccentric and colourful cheesemakers and celebrates both traditional farmhouse and modern artisanal cheeses - fresh, mould-ripened, washed-rind, blue and hard. He explains how to buy your cheese like a monger, how to cut and store it, and how best to match it with drinks.
The guide is completed by a brilliantly illustrated gazetteer.

You can choose to collect your online order at our shop or have it delivered.
Our standard delivery charge for orders under £50 is £8 to any address in mainland Great Britain on an overnight service. Orders of £50 or more are delivered for free using this service.
Whilst most orders do arrive on the chosen date, we rely on a third party provider and therefore we cannot guarantee delivery dates. Your order may arrive 1-2 days after your preferred date. This is more likely at very busy times, particularly Christmas.
If you live within 8 miles of our Chelsea shop you may wish to use our local London Delivery service? The cost for this ranges from £6 to £19, depending on distance, and you can choose a delivery as soon as within the next hour or so, to a named one-hour slot and a date up to 6 months in the future.
All subscriptions are delivered free using our national overnight service.
If you'd like to collect your order, simply choose 'Shop Collection' at the checkout, and a time and date that's convenient for you.
Please refer to our Ordering & Delivery page for more information.
We send our national online orders in one of our brown cardboard gift boxes. Orders using our local service are delivered in our shop carrier bags, unless there's a gift message, in which case we'll pack it in a box for you.
Everything inside the box will be cushioned and insulated with wood wool.
All the packaging we use to send our online orders can be re-used, is biodegradable or fully recyclable.
