German Cheese

Discover traditional cheeses from Germany’s dairies and Alpine regions

Germany has a long and proud cheesemaking tradition, producing a wide variety of cheeses that range from mild and creamy to rich, nutty, and beautifully matured. Many German cheeses are inspired by Alpine styles, with recipes that emphasise balance, gentle sweetness, and excellent melting qualities.

This collection brings together the German cheeses available at The Norfolk Deli, allowing you to explore cheeses from one of Europe’s great dairy regions.

Among the best-known German styles is Allgäuer Emmentaler, a traditional Alpine-style cheese with large holes and a sweet, nutty flavour developed during long maturation. Germany also produces a range of semi-hard and washed-rind cheeses, many of which are perfect for cheeseboards, cooking, or classic European dishes.

Whether you're building a continental cheeseboard or exploring the diversity of European cheesemaking, this collection highlights the distinctive character of German cheese.
