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

Luxurious British triple cream cheese with exceptional richness and refined complexity

Bix is an award-winning British triple cream cheese made by Nettlebed Creamery in Oxfordshire, and winner of Best Soft White at the British Cheese Awards. Named after the nearby village of Bix, this cheese has quickly established itself as one of the finest examples of modern British soft cheesemaking.

Made using cow’s milk enriched with additional cream, Bix develops a soft, delicate bloomy rind that protects its luxuriously rich interior. As it matures, the paste becomes increasingly soft and creamy, delivering a smooth, indulgent texture.

The flavour is rich, buttery, and complex, combining creamy sweetness with subtle savoury depth and a refined mushroom-like character from the rind. Despite its richness, the cheese remains beautifully balanced and elegant.

This is a cheese that exemplifies the very best of British soft cheesemaking — indulgent, refined, and deeply satisfying.

Perfect Pairings

• Fresh figs or ripe pear
• Honey or fruit preserves
• Champagne or sparkling wine
• Crusty sourdough or baguette
• Light white wines

Ideal Uses

• A luxurious centrepiece cheese
• Perfect for special occasion cheeseboards
• Served simply with bread
• Ideal as a dessert cheese
• Best enjoyed at room temperature

  • 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.
