They can relate to you since they are human too. Cheese is a miracle food. Cheese is a universally recognised food. However, they Brits say it gets short shrift: at dinner gatherings, it rarely receives the spotlight until after everyone is filled, and at restaurants, they often have to select between dessert and cheese. Thus, Pong was developed to put an end to this insanity and give cheese its due.
More than 98% of British families eat cheese annually, with an average of 10 kg per person. Sounds like a lot, but the French, Italians, Greeks, and Germans eat more than twice as much cheese daily as the typical American since they eat more frequently (for example, breakfast).
Pong was created so that you would have access to the best artisanal and independent producers in the United Kingdom and Europe’s gold standard cheeses. It takes a lot of skill to make cheese, as each variety has its own unique flavour and texture. Any of the cheeses available at Pong, from the bizarrely cultured but wonderfully tasty “Oxford Blue” to the now-famous “Stinking Bishop,” are deserving of the attention.
Pong was conceived by two buddies in England’s “Napa Valley of cheese,” Bath. The Cheese Club is the most popular cheese subscription service in the United Kingdom, and its founders are cheese specialists who have utilised their experience to compile a monthly selection of the finest cheeses from all over the world for their subscribers.
