The Norfolk Deli - Norfolk's Premier Cheesemonger

Artisan Cheese, Cut Fresh by Your Cheesemonger

Q: What is the best cheese for a cheeseboard?

A good cheeseboard usually includes a mix of textures and strengths, such as a soft cheese, a hard cheese and a blue cheese. This gives balance and variety across the board.

Q: How much cheese should I allow per person?

As a guide, allow around 100 to 150 grams of cheese per person for a cheeseboard, depending on what else you are serving.

Q: Should cheese be served at room temperature?

Yes. Cheese should usually be taken out of the fridge 30 to 60 minutes before serving so the flavour and texture can fully open up.

Q: How should cheese be stored?

Cheese is best stored in the fridge wrapped in cheese paper, wax paper or parchment, then loosely covered to stop it drying out while still allowing it to breathe. Avoid sealing cheese tightly in plastic where possible.

From Norfolk favourites to British classics, every cheese is hand-cut, wrapped and sent at peak condition.

Great juice

Really pleased to find a local small business to provide local produce for a welcome hamper at our holiday let. Am sure the guests will enjoy the juice. Norfolk- deli have been great with prompt delivery and excellent communication.

Thank you, Roz, for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Discovery Apple Juice and appreciate your support for local businesses. We look forward to serving you again!

Great cookies

Bought these as part of a welcome hamper for a holiday let. Very pleased to use local produce and a local small business. The products were dispatched in a very timely fashion and all communications with the Norfolk Deli have been excellent. I am sure our guests will enjoy the cookies.

Hi Roz, we're so glad you enjoyed the cookies and appreciated our local approach. We hope your guests love them too! Thanks for your kind words.

Excellent Cheese

I acquired a taste for Pecorino cheese on a recent trip to Italy and as it is quite a difficult cheese for me to buy locally, I have started ordering from Norfolk Deli who I discovered on an online search. The cheese arrives promptly, expertly packed, in excellent condition and is delicious with a nice texture and tang. Far superior to anything available in the supermarket. I will definitely be placing more orders in the future. Thank you.

Thank you, Hilary, for your kind words and for choosing Norfolk Deli. We're delighted to hear you enjoy our Pecorino Toscano and appreciate your support. We look forward to serving you again soon!

Anniversary Picnic

A truly gourmet picnic. Excellent quality produce in generous portions. Pimms jellies superb. Made a special occasion , very memorable. Not to be missed.
Well boxed and environmentally sustainable. Looking forward to the next time.

Hi David, we're thrilled to hear your anniversary picnic was so memorable! Thanks for sharing your kind words and for choosing Norfolk Deli. We look forward to your next visit!

Best Cookies EVER!

I almost don't want to spread the word on how good these cookies are for fear that there will come a time when they can't make enough to go around, but....
If you like to dunk a good cookie in a steaming mug of coffee or better still, tea then these are the best cookies on the planet.
I mean, they are pretty fabulous straight from the packet but dunked in a hot brew they become chewy and soft and just - WOW!

Thank you, Donna! We're thrilled you love the cookies. Nothing beats dunking them in a hot brew. Enjoy!
