What are the top 10 cheeses by sales value in the UK?

I can find commentary to say that cheddar is about 55% and mozarella
is 2nd, but nothing very detailed about anything else.

Dear jackwc,

Here are the best figures I could find:


UK Household Purchases of Cheese by Type, 2003
(% of total purchases)

Cheddar.....................51.2%
Soft White Cheese............9.1%
Processed Cheese Spread......4.2%
Leicester/Red Leicester......3.6%
Cottage Cheese...............3.1%
Processed Cheese Slices......2.7%
Double Gloucester............1.6%
Edam.........................1.6%
Cheshire.....................1.0%
All others..................21.9%


"Soft White Cheese" is very obviously a generic term to describe
Mozzarella and closely related cheese types.

I hope that this is what you needed!
Regards,
Scriptor
