While the coronavirus pandemic has brought very few positives with it, there may be some good news for cheese lovers.
According to cheese experts, we should be buying more of the dairy treat than usual in order to help suppliers out.
With restaurants, cafes and other eateries having closed their doors in light of the global health crisis, an overflow of cheese and milk is mounting.
According to the Specialist Cheesemakers Association, lockdown life has meant that cheese producers could be in big trouble.
They said, “Our restaurants, cafes and pubs, many of the local shops, farmers markets and supermarket deli counters closed overnight leaving cheese maturing stores overfilled, an abundance of spring milk with nowhere to go and much fewer orders than usual forthcoming.
“Very few specialist cheesemakers can sustain this pressure for long so the future of specialist cheesemakers is in your hands.
“Unless we continue to buy and relish the great range of specialist handmade local cheeses that bring joy into our lives, we will not continue to have such great choice in the future.”
