HARD CHEESE

Aged to Perfection, Crafted to Impress

The world of hard cheeses is a celebration of flavour, texture, and time-honoured craft. Aged for depth and complexity, these cheeses offer everything from sharp and crumbly to smooth and nutty — a range that appeals to every kind of cheese lover.

Whether it’s the crystalline crunch of Parmigiano-Reggiano, the mellow richness of Gruyère, or the savoury depth of an aged Comté or Lincolnshire Poacher, hard cheeses are as versatile as they are delicious. Perfect for grating, slicing, melting, or enjoying in bold, flavour-packed wedges.

Ideal for cheeseboards, cooking, or pairing with robust wines and ales, our selection of artisan hard cheeses is curated to delight and impress — one bite at a time

You ask. We answer

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cheese are included in this collection?

Each cheese collection features artisan cheeses selected for quality, flavour and style. Depending on the category, this can include soft cheeses, cheddars, blues, washed-rind cheeses, alpine styles, goat’s and ewe’s milk cheeses, or Norfolk-made favourites

Are your cheeses cut fresh to order?

Yes. Every cheese is cut directly from the wheel or truckle, ensuring the highest freshness, flavour and texture. You receive only the cheese you want—never pre-packed portions

Do you ship cheese nationwide?

Absolutely. We deliver across the UK using chilled packaging and rapid delivery so your cheese arrives in excellent condition.

How should I store artisan cheese?

Keep cheese in waxed paper or breathable cheese paper inside a fridge or cool environment. Avoid cling film, which traps moisture and affects flavour. Soft and blue cheeses benefit from being brought to room temperature before serving.
Can I build my own cheeseboard using these collections?
Yes. Each collection can be mixed and matched with others, or you can create your own cheeseboard by selecting cheeses by type, milk variety, flavour profile or region
Do you sell Norfolk-made cheeses?
Yes—we stock one of the strongest selections of Norfolk cheeses, including Baron Bigod, St Jude, Walsingham, Binham Blue, Norfolk Dapple, and many more local favourites, depending on availability and season.
How do I choose cheese if I have allergies or dietary needs?
We offer cheeses made from cow’s, goat’s and ewe’s milk. While cheese is naturally gluten-free, customers with coeliac disease should check individual product descriptions and contact us if they have concerns about production environments
What’s the best way to serve artisan cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge 30–60 minutes before serving to bring out its full flavour. Pair with fresh bread, crackers, chutneys or fruit, and consider contrasting textures for a balanced cheeseboard.
