There's over 700 varieties of British cheeses that are made in the UK, including Cornish Camembert, Somerset Brie, red cheeses, blue cheeses, cranberry cheeses, walnut cheeses, hard cheeses, soft cheeses, etc.
We don't need to import French brie or camembert when we have our own English versions - which are equally as good.

Yet whilst we were in the EU empire, the UK imported two-thirds of our cheese.
The supermarkets allowed for a monopoly of cheeses and wines from the EU - in particular from France, despite the large variety and high quality of British wines and cheeses.
Since Brexit, many British people are advertising loads of British home-grown produce (including a large variety of seasonal fruits, vegetables, garlic, a long list of English wines, cheeses, etc,) and have made websites and long lists of British made products and companies, (everything from furniture, clothes, cosmetics, shoes... to long lists of local fisheries and farmers.)
Millions of Brexiteers strongly encourage people to buy local and to buy British produce wherever possible with the popular hashtag and slogan #BuyBritish - not only to help our own farmers and businesses, but also to reduce transport costs - which is better for the environment too by buying more from our local farmers.
British supermarkets (such as Morrisons) are showing the UK flag symbol on British produced fruits, vegetables, cheeses, wines, etc, to show support for the Buy British movement since Brexit.
