The Food Programme - How Consumers Saved Our Cheese

Download How Consumers Saved Our Cheese

Many UK cheese makers depend on supplying restaurants and hospitality. They faced ruin when lockdown struck but were saved by consumers buying tonnes of cheese in just a few weeks.

In this programme, Sheila Dillon meets those behind the campaign that saved British cheese makers, as well as those who benefited. She finds out why cheese is more than just a delicious treat, and asks 'what now' for the industry.

A BBC Audio production, presented by Sheila Dillon and produced in Bristol by Heather Simons.
