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

Exceptionally soft Italian blue cheese, spoonable, rich, and intensely creamy

Gorgonzola al Cucchiaio, meaning “Gorgonzola for scooping,” represents the softest and most luxurious expression of this iconic Italian blue cheese. Made in Lombardy and Piemonte in northern Italy, this style is matured to the point where the interior becomes almost molten, creating a texture that can be served with a spoon.

Crafted using cow’s milk and matured carefully, the cheese develops delicate blue veining within its pale, creamy paste. Unlike firmer Gorgonzola styles, Gorgonzola al Cucchiaio is defined by its extraordinary softness and richness, offering an indulgent, velvety consistency.

The flavour is deep and complex yet beautifully balanced, combining buttery richness with gentle blue spice and a subtle sweetness. The softness enhances its flavour delivery, allowing it to coat the palate and linger with remarkable elegance.

This is Gorgonzola at its most decadent — a true celebration of texture, craft, and Italian cheesemaking tradition.

Perfect Pairings

• Fresh figs, pear, or grapes
• Honey or fig preserves
• Crusty bread or focaccia
• Sweet wines such as Sauternes
• Italian dessert wines or Port

Ideal Uses

• Scooped directly onto fresh bread
• A luxurious addition to cheese boards
• Melted into risotto or pasta sauces
• Served with fruit for contrast
• Perfect as a decadent finishing cheese

  • 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.
