The cheese, worth over $390,000, was taken from London cheese specialist Neal’s Yard Dairy on Oct. 21, the company said in an Instagram post.
Three cheeses from three different suppliers were stolen: Hafod Welsh organic cheddar, Westcombe cheddar, and Pitchfork cheddar.
Neal's Yard Dairy said that "despite the significant financial blow," they've paid each of their artisan cheesemakers in full for their products.
Oliver said that as the world’s most consumed cheese type, a cheddar theft affects exports to 20 different countries.
The whereabouts of the stolen cheese have yet to be determined.
