Cheese Delivery & Freshness

Whilst we always aim for prompt delivery, courier delivery dates cannot be guaranteed, and occasional delays do occur. The good news is that cheese is far more resilient than many people realise. Most traditional cheeses can comfortably withstand short transit delays and, in the vast majority of cases, delayed parcels arrive in excellent condition. If your parcel is delayed, simply refrigerate your cheese on arrival and allow it to come back to room temperature before serving. For more information, please see our Cheese Care Guide

The Cheesemonger’s Notes

The best of Norfolk’s artisan cheese, handcrafted by Catherine Temple

There are few names more synonymous with Norfolk cheese than Mrs Temple’s. Crafted with care and tradition by Catherine Temple at Copys Green Farm in Wighton, each cheese tells the story of Norfolk’s lush pastures, rich heritage, and dedication to artisan food making.

The Temple of Cheese Hamper brings together the very best of Mrs Temple’s Norfolk cheeses — a curated showcase of handcrafted, cows’ milk cheeses that capture the true flavour of our county. It’s a perfect choice for those who love local cheese, celebrate the Best of British produce, or simply want to enjoy the distinctive character that defines cheese from Norfolk.

This hamper showcases products from independent Norfolk producers — discover the makers behind the food in our Norfolk Producer Hub →

Smooth, mellow, nutty, rich and creamy, this is Norfolk cheesemaking at its finest.

Inside this hamper you’ll find:

  • Copys Cloud (180g truckle) – A soft, bloomy-rind cheese inspired by traditional French styles but with a gentle Norfolk twist. Buttery, creamy and luxuriously smooth.
  • Walsingham (approx. 250g) – A semi-hard farmhouse cheese with a mild tang and satisfying texture; a versatile all-rounder for any cheeseboard.
  • Wells Alpine (approx. 250g) – Matured for depth and complexity, this Alpine-style cheese offers nutty, savoury tones and a firm, golden texture.
  • Binham Blue (approx. 250g) – Norfolk’s best-known blue, creamy and well-balanced with a subtle tang and streaks of natural blue veining.
  • Gurney Gold (approx. 150g) – A semi-hard, washed-rind cheese with a golden hue, buttery aroma, and mellow sweetness; pure Norfolk sunshine in cheese form.
  • Pack of artisan crackers – Perfect for pairing with soft and hard cheeses alike.
  • Jar of The Garden Pantry chutney – Locally made, the ideal sweet-savoury balance to complement Catherine Temple’s cheeses.

Freshness & storage

Most of our cheeses are hand-cut to order, and while every effort is made to be as accurate as possible, the quoted weights are approximate. All cheeses are cut on the day of dispatch or, at the latest, the day before, ensuring freshness and quality.
Cut cheeses will have a minimum shelf life of 10 days from the date of cutting.

Cheese is far more robust than most realise. For guidance on how to look after your cheese, please read our latest blog post on cheese refrigeration and storage, offering our professional insight into keeping your cheese in perfect condition.

Packaging

At The Norfolk Deli, our focus is on quality and care, not fancy packaging. We don’t use decorative wicker hampers for our cheeseboards — instead, your cheeses are packed in appropriately sized boxes with ice packs and insulation, ensuring they arrive in perfect, tip-top condition, ready to enjoy.

The price includes postage and packing, as well as a personalised handwritten message, making this the perfect ready-to-send gift for any cheese lover.

  • Cheese Delivery Delayed?

    Cheese is a living, matured food. It is considerably more resilient than many people assume and was enjoyed for centuries before refrigerated transport existed.

Answering your everyday cheese questions

How long will this cheese last?

All cheeses are cut fresh at the counter and dispatched in insulated packaging.

For the best flavour, we recommend enjoying within 5–7 days of delivery. Hard cheeses may last longer if stored correctly.

How should I store this cheese?

Keep refrigerated in its original wrapping or waxed paper. Avoid airtight plastic containers. Always bring to room temperature 30–45 minutes before serving for the best flavour and texture.

Is this cheese suitable for freezing?

We don’t recommend freezing soft or blue cheeses as it can affect texture. Hard cheeses may be frozen for cooking purposes, but flavour is best when enjoyed fresh.

What if my cheese has mould on it?

Mould is a natural part of many artisan cheeses.

If the cheese is meant to have a white rind, blue veining or natural mould, this is completely normal and part of its character.

If you notice surface mould on a hard cheese, it can usually be trimmed away safely — simply cut at least 1cm around and beneath the mould.

If mould appears on a soft cheese that is not intended to have mould, or if you are unsure, please contact us and we will advise.

We only dispatch cheeses in excellent condition, selected at peak maturity.

Is this cheese safe during pregnancy?

Pasteurised cheeses are generally considered safe. If a cheese is unpasteurised, this will be clearly stated in the Key Facts section. If unsure, please consult current NHS guidance

Can I request a specific size?

Weights are approximate to ensure fairness and quality. If you require a specific size for an event, please contact us before ordering.

Can this cheese be included in a hamper or cheeseboard selection?

Yes. Many of our cheeses are available in curated cheeseboards, gift hampers or our Cheesemonger’s Selection.
