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

A fresh new Norfolk cheese from the makers of Pinkfoot and Norfolk Dapple.

Norfolk Doubleday is one of the newest cheeses to emerge from Norfolk's thriving artisan cheese scene and The Norfolk Deli is delighted to be the first retailer to offer it.

Made by Ferndale Farm, the award-winning Norfolk cheesemakers behind favourites such as Pinkfoot and Norfolk Dapple, Norfolk Doubleday takes its name from the traditional two-day cheesemaking process used to create it. By making the cheese over two days, rather than one, the curds develop a distinctive texture and character that sets it apart from other territorial cheeses.

Young, fresh and beautifully crumbly, Norfolk Doubleday sits somewhere between a traditional Lancashire and a Cheshire-style cheese. It offers a clean, milky flavour with a gentle acidity, a creamy mouthfeel and a satisfyingly crumbly texture that makes it incredibly moreish.

Those who enjoy Ferndale Farm's Pinkfoot will recognise some similarities in texture, whilst Lancashire lovers will appreciate its fresh, bright character and easy-going nature. It is a cheese that feels familiar from the very first bite, yet brings something entirely new to the Norfolk cheeseboard.

Perfect for everyday eating, ploughman's lunches and cheeseboards, Norfolk Doubleday showcases the innovation and craftsmanship that continue to make Norfolk one of Britain's most exciting cheese-producing counties.

  • 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.
