Neal's Yard Dairy - Covent Garden

About

Neal's Yard Dairy select, mature and sell farmhouse cheese from the UK and Ireland. We work with about 40 cheesemakers. We visit them regularly to taste their cheese with them and select the batches we want to mature and sell. Flavour drives how we sell cheese. We have learnt that different palates and markets have different tastes. When you buy cheese from us, whether you are buying on behalf of a food hall or for a family meal, we encourage you to have a taste of some cheese with our cheesemongers and tell us what you think. Your feedback is invaluable to us and the cheesemakers we work with. The essence of what we do has changed very little since our founding director Randolph Hodgson began seeking out farmhouse cheesemakers to supply our first shop in the early 1980’s. We believe that the time and energy we invest in understanding cheesemaking, selection and maturation gives us the necessary experience to source much of the best cheese available in the UK and Ireland.
