The word artisanal has appeared in 102 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Oct. 28 in “That’s a Lot of Cheddar: Scammers Steal $390,000 of British Cheese” by Amelia Nierenberg:
It’s been called “the grate cheese robbery.”
But it’s no joke to the tight-knit world of artisanal British cheese makers, which is reeling from the disappearance of 22 metric tons of rare Cheddar worth at least 300,000 pounds, about $390,000, in what appears to be the biggest con to hit their industry in decades.
