Cheesemonger Ned Palmer takes us on a delicious journey across Britain and Ireland and through time to uncover the histories of beloved old favourites like Cheddar and Wensleydale, and fresh innovations like Cashel Blue or the rambunctious Renegade Monk.

Along the way we learn the craft and culture of cheesemaking from the eccentric and engaging characters who have revived and reinvented farmhouse and artisan traditions.

We also get to know more about the main cheese styles - the blues, washed rinds, semi-softs and those unique to the British Isles, the Territorials.

And we discover how best to enjoy them, on a cheeseboard with a glass of Riesling, or as a Welsh rarebit alongside a pint of Pale Ale.

Paperback. 384pp.

[We also offer this book as part of a small selection of cheeses to accompany Ned's journey through the British Isles. It comes with 3 cheeses featured in the book and tasting notes written by Ned himself. You can find it here].
