The big cheese leader: Jamie Oliver warns of stolen Cheddar!

London, Vereinigtes Königreich - A London cheese dealer, Neal’s Yard Dairy, has become the victim of a spectacular fraud and has lost more than 22 tons of Cheddar worth around £ 300,000 (around 360,000 euros). The perpetrator pretended to be a wholesaler of a French food company and had over 950 Laibe Hafod, WestCombe and Pitchfork Cheddar delivered before the theft was discovered. Jamie Oliver, the celebrity, jumped to the side of the dealer and called on his followers in an urgent Instagram video of being vigilant. "Some of the best cheddar cheese in the world were stolen," said Oliver and described the incident as "great cheese tread" ( www.nordbayern.de ).

The London police examined the case reported on Monday. So far there are no arrests. Despite the financial damage, Neal’s Yard Dairy maintained his obligations towards the producers and continues to pay them. The company urgently appeals to retailers worldwide to report that suspicious amounts of cheese are offered. Oliver asked the question of what could happen with so much stolen cheese: "Whether they wanted to rub the cheese now and get rid of the fast food industry?". The term "great cheese tread" could have ring in the scene and aftermath of crime in the food industry.
