A Cheesemonger’s History of the British Isles – by Ned Palmer £16.99

“A beautifully textured tour around the cheeseboard” Simon Garfield

Every cheese tells a story, whether it’s a fresh young goat’s cheese or a big, beefy eighteen-month old Cheddar.   Each style and variety holds the history of the people who first made it, from the builders of Stonehenge to the medieval monks, from Stilton producers of the eighteenth-century to the ‘Renaissance cheesemakers’ of recent decades.
