The Cheesemonger’s Notes

A rich, extra mature Cheddar with exceptional smoothness and bold, lingering flavour

Black Bomber is the flagship Cheddar from Snowdonia Cheese Company, widely celebrated for its rich depth, smooth texture, and unmistakable character. Matured to achieve the perfect balance of strength and creaminess, it has become one of Britain’s most recognisable and loved modern Cheddars.

Carefully selected Cheddar is matured to develop its signature flavour profile, allowing the cheese to gain depth while maintaining its smooth, approachable texture. Unlike more crumbly mature Cheddars, Black Bomber retains a dense, creamy consistency that delivers a luxurious mouthfeel.

The flavour is bold and full-bodied, opening with rich savoury depth and nutty warmth. As it develops on the palate, subtle sweetness emerges, balanced by gentle tanginess and a long, smooth finish. The result is a cheese that offers strength without harshness, making it both expressive and highly enjoyable.

Its distinctive black wax coating protects the cheese and preserves its condition during maturation, while also making it instantly recognisable on the cheeseboard.

Black Bomber is a versatile and dependable Cheddar—equally suited to cheeseboards, cooking, or simply enjoying on its own.

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

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.
