The Cheesemonger’s Notes

Luxuriously creamy farmhouse blue cheese with exceptional richness and balance

Isle of Wight Blue is a remarkable artisan blue cheese made by the Stone family at the Isle of Wight Cheese Company. Produced using milk from their own herd of Guernsey cows, this cheese reflects both the richness of the milk and the careful craft of farmhouse cheesemaking.

Guernsey milk is naturally higher in butterfat than standard cow’s milk, giving Isle of Wight Blue its signature golden hue and exceptionally creamy texture. The cheese is matured carefully to allow delicate blue veining to develop throughout the soft, dense paste.

The flavour is rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced, with gentle blue spice complemented by a natural sweetness from the Guernsey milk. Despite its depth, it remains refined and approachable, offering both indulgence and elegance.

This is a modern British blue cheese that combines farmhouse provenance with exceptional eating quality.

Perfect Pairings

• Fig chutney or fruit preserves
• Fresh pear or apple
• Oatcakes or crusty bread
• Dessert wines or Port
• English sparkling wine

Ideal Uses

• A luxurious addition to a cheese board
• Crumbled into salads
• Melted into sauces
• Served with fruit and nuts
• Perfect for those who enjoy creamy blue cheeses

Why We Stock It

Isle of Wight Blue represents the best of modern farmhouse cheesemaking. The use of milk from the farm’s own Guernsey herd gives the cheese a richness and depth that cannot be replicated in larger-scale production.

At The Norfolk Deli, we select cheeses that demonstrate genuine provenance and craft. Isle of Wight Blue delivers both — a cheese that reflects its landscape, its animals, and the skill of the people who make it.

 

 

  • Cut Fresh, Just for You

    Every cheese is hand-cut at our counter on the day your order is prepared. Because we cut by hand, weights are as accurate as possible but remain approximate — think artisan precision, not factory uniformity

  • Trusted Cheesemonger

    For over 12 years, The Norfolk Deli has been immersed in cheese, recognised nationally as one of the country’s inspirational independent cheesemongers. Every cheese is selected and cut with care

  • Serving Guide

    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.
