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

Farmhouse Gouda from Cornwall, matured for rich caramel depth and crystalline texture

Cornish Gouda is an award-winning farmhouse cheese made using milk from the farm’s own pedigree Holstein Friesian herd in Cornwall. Produced entirely on the farm, this cheese reflects the quality of the milk and the careful attention given to every stage of its production and maturation.

Matured for around 10 to 12 months, Cornish Gouda develops a firm yet creamy texture with the formation of natural calcium lactate crystals — a sign of proper ageing and a hallmark of quality. These crystals provide a delicate crunch that enhances the overall eating experience.

The flavour is rich and complex, combining creamy nuttiness with sweet caramel undertones and a smooth, lingering finish. The careful maturation brings depth and balance while preserving the cheese’s natural warmth and approachability.

This is Gouda in its traditional farmhouse form — expressive, rewarding, and deeply satisfying.

Perfect Pairings

• Caramelised onion chutney
• Crusty bread or oatcakes
• Fresh apple or pear
• Full-bodied white wines
• Traditional cider or amber ale

Ideal Uses

• A superb after-dinner cheese
• Perfect addition to a cheese board
• Served simply with bread and chutney
• Grated into savoury dishes
• Ideal for those who enjoy aged cheeses

  • 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.
