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 beautifully balanced organic Welsh blue cheese with creamy texture and lingering depth

Perl Las Blue is an award-winning organic blue cheese made by Caws Cenarth in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Crafted using organic cow’s milk and traditional methods, it is widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest modern blue cheeses—combining richness, balance, and distinctive character.

The cheese develops a pale gold natural rind, protecting a pale yellow paste delicately marbled with blue and green veining. Its texture is smooth and creamy, becoming softer and more yielding as it matures while maintaining structure and balance.

The flavour is refined and expressive. It opens with rich creaminess and gentle savoury notes, followed by a subtle saltiness that enhances the depth of flavour without overwhelming the palate. As the cheese matures, the blue character intensifies, bringing greater complexity and a long, lingering finish. Despite this depth, Perl Las retains remarkable balance and elegance.

Judges at the Organic Food Awards described Perl Las as “lovely and unique with a strong lingering flavour,” a testament to its distinctive character and exceptional craftsmanship.

Made using organic milk and matured with care, Perl Las reflects both the purity of its ingredients and the expertise of its makers. It is a cheese that offers depth and complexity while remaining approachable and incredibly enjoyable.

Cut to order at The Norfolk Deli, every piece is prepared fresh to ensure optimal flavour and condition.

  • 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.
