At last, we have proof that our cheese rocks!  Just as I was longing for British Cheese week to come back again, I have found the perfect excuse to keep celebrating.  According to the Telegraph’s Harry Wallop, “British cheeses are now outselling French cheeses at a rate of two to one at Marks & Spencer, as consumers embrace local, regional specialities.”

According to the article, sales of British cheeses have gone up by 30 percent over the last year.  This might be a result of British cheeses being cheaper than their foreign counterparts as the Pound decreases against the Euro; or that we are prepared to support local businesses more during a recession, but I prefer to think it is because more and more people are realising we have a spectacular selection of delicious cheeses in the UK, and that they can’t get enough of it!
