But we also feel it’s unfairly treated in the UK: it’s usually only given centre stage at the end of a dinner party when everyone’s full; in a restaurant we’re frequently forced to choose between a dessert OR cheese.

Pong was created to bring you some of the very best cheeses produced by the leading independent and artisan producers in the UK as well as all the classics you love from Europe and even further around the world.
