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 rich, golden farmhouse cheese with a smooth texture and beautifully balanced flavour

Suffolk Gold is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese made in Suffolk by Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses. Made using milk from Jersey and Guernsey cows, it has a firm, slightly springy texture and a rich, buttery flavour with sweet, nutty notes and a smooth, rounded finish.

Suffolk Gold is a handcrafted semi-hard farmhouse cheese made by Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses, the family-run dairy established by Jason and Katharine Salisbury in the Suffolk countryside. Produced using milk from their own herd of pedigree Guernsey and Jersey cows, it reflects the exceptional richness and quality that comes from true single-herd cheesemaking.

The milk from Guernsey and Jersey cows is naturally higher in butterfat and beta-carotene, giving Suffolk Gold its distinctive deep golden colour and luxuriously creamy texture. Each batch is made using traditional methods, allowing the character of the milk and careful maturation to shape the cheese’s flavour and structure.

The texture is smooth and supple, firm enough to slice cleanly while retaining a gentle creaminess on the palate. The flavour is rich and rounded, opening with buttery sweetness before developing subtle nutty and savoury notes. Despite its depth, Suffolk Gold remains beautifully balanced and approachable, making it incredibly versatile and easy to enjoy.

Its natural richness and mellow character make it a perfect everyday cheese, equally suited to cheeseboards, sandwiches, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Made using milk from their own herd and matured with care, Suffolk Gold represents the dedication and craftsmanship that define Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses.

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.
