Hi r/London, I'm Georgia and I'm a cheesemonger at Neal's Yard Dairy. If you have any questions about what we do, how I got into it, or CHEESE, ask me! I will be online at 4 pm on Weds 9th October to answer some of your questions.

I may have committed a cheese faux pas last Boxing Day by spreading some leftover Camembert on toast to watch on the sofa and wallow in self-pity—after it had been left out overnight. Despite warnings/predictions of impending food poisoning, I survived unscathed. So, how long can you *responsibly* leave cheese out, or did I just narrowly dodge a bullet?

I can’t remember the name of a cheese I had from your Borough Market should a few years back.
The main thing I remember was that it tasted of toasted cheese – kind of like it had already been grilled and was on toast – it had the toasted bread flavours too.
I think it was Irish, and either cow or sheep (I know, hazy memories). It was firm textured, not hard. I’m afraid I can’t remember much else
Any ideas? I’d love to have it again. I don’t live in London anymore so can’t really pop into the shop

Is there a viable method for cheese making when one is lactose intolerant? We have a cheesemaker’s kit at home but I’m concerned about all that full fat milk, and assume soya milk simply won’t work. Do substitutes exist in the process to accommodate? I love cheese but too much has adverse effects on me.
