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

An indulgent showcase of Europe’s most iconic cheeses

For those who believe more is more, The Great Continental Cheese Board expands on our smaller selection with two additional continental showstoppers and extra accompaniments — creating the ultimate European cheeseboard experience.

This is an indulgent, luxurious collection designed for the serious cheese lover — featuring creamy French brie, aged Alpine styles, bold blues, nutty Spanish icons, and delicate goat’s milk treasures. Whether shared at a dinner party or given as a gift, it’s the perfect celebration of European cheese artistry.

Inside this cheeseboard you’ll find:

  • Starnachas (approx. 250g) – Aged Swiss-style cheese with a nutty sweetness and firm, buttery texture. A taste of the Alps in every bite.

  • Grand Noir (approx. 250g) – A velvety German blue cheese, ripened to perfection in black wax. Creamy, elegant, and wonderfully balanced.

  • Drunk Monk (approx. 250g) – A bold washed-rind cheese infused with brandy during maturation for a rich aroma and deep, lingering finish.

  • Pasteurised French Brie (approx. 250g) – A soft, bloomy-rind cow’s milk cheese, delicately creamy with mushroom undertones — a classic French cheeseboard essential.

  • Manchego (approx. 250g) – Spain’s best-loved ewe’s milk cheese, firm and nutty with a smooth, slightly crumbly texture.

  • Bûche de Chèvre (approx. 200g) – A traditional French goat’s cheese log, creamy and tangy with a delicate white rind and clean, fresh flavour.

  • Gorgonzola (approx. 250g, scooping) – Italy’s iconic soft blue cheese, rich and spoonable with a balanced sweetness and tangy finish. Perfect for spreading or serving with honey.

  • Two packs of artisan cheese crackers – Carefully selected to complement both soft and hard cheeses.

  • Jar of The Garden Pantry chutney – Handmade in Norfolk using seasonal ingredients for a sweet, tangy pairing.

  • Jar of Candi’s Chutney – Created by Candi Robertson in Norfolk, adding bold, spiced character to creamy continental cheeses.

  • Small jar of Eastgate Larder Medlar Jelly – Made by Jane Steward in Eastgate. A beautifully balanced English jelly that pairs perfectly with strong continental cheeses.

Freshness & storage

Most cheeses are hand-cut to order, and while every effort is made to be as accurate as possible, the quoted weights are approximate. Cheeses are cut on the day of dispatch or at most the day before, ensuring maximum freshness and quality.

Cut cheeses will have a minimum shelf life of 10 days from the date of cutting.

Cheese is more resilient than many assume — designed to travel and mature naturally. For expert guidance on how to look after your cheese, visit our blog on cheese refrigeration and storage

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.

    As part of a cheeseboard, 250g typically serves 2–4 people. For gatherings of 4–6, a selection of three to five cheeses creates a more generous and varied board

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.
