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 celebration of Britain’s most iconic artisan cheeses

From the rugged Cornish coast to the rolling hills of Northumberland, The Great British Cheese Board brings together a handpicked collection of the nation’s finest artisan cheeses. This is Britain on a cheeseboard — a showcase of regional character, traditional craftsmanship, and exceptional flavour.

Curated by The Norfolk Deli, each cheese in this selection represents the very best of its region — from heritage producers to modern award-winners. It’s the perfect gift for any cheese lover, or a show-stopping centrepiece for your next gathering.

Inside this cheeseboard you’ll find:

  • Doddington (approx. 250g) or Cheesemaker’s Special (approx. 250g) – Depending on availability, this place on the board will feature either Doddington, an exceptional farmhouse cheese from North Doddington Farm in Northumberland, known for its nutty, savoury, Alpine-style depth and firm texture, or Cheesemaker’s Special from Alsop & Walker in Sussex — a limited-edition creation chosen for its outstanding flavour, character, and craftsmanship. Both embody the very best of British cheesemaking.

  • Cornish Yarg (approx. 250g) – Made by Lynher Dairies in Cornwall. A semi-hard cow’s milk cheese hand-wrapped in nettle leaves, developing a fresh, creamy core with a delicate earthy tang. A true Cornish classic.

  • Colston Bassett Stilton (approx. 250g) – Crafted in Nottinghamshire by one of Britain’s most respected dairies. Rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced, this is the benchmark of British blue cheese, known for its luxurious texture and deep flavour.

  • Woodside Red (approx. 250g) – Made by Alsop & Walker in East Sussex. A beautifully aged Red Leicester-style cheese with a striking orange hue, sweet nutty flavour, and crumbly texture. Traditional yet vibrant — a modern British favourite.

  • Tunworth (approx. 250g) – Produced by Hampshire Cheese Company. A soft, bloomy-rind cow’s milk cheese, often described as “the British Camembert.” Creamy, rich, and complex with gentle mushroom and earthy notes.

  • Pack of artisan cheese crackers – Specially selected to complement both soft and hard cheeses.

  • Jar of The Garden Pantry chutney – Handmade in Norfolk, using seasonal ingredients to provide the perfect sweet and spiced contrast to the cheeses.

Freshness & storage

Most cheeses are hand-cut to order, and while every effort is made to be as accurate as possible, the quoted weights are approximate. Cheeses are cut on the day of dispatch or at most the day before, ensuring maximum freshness and quality.

Cut cheeses have a minimum shelf life of 10 days from the date of cutting.

Cheese is far more robust than many assume — designed to travel and mature naturally. For expert guidance on how to look after your cheese, visit our blog on cheese refrigeration and storage

Packaging

At The Norfolk Deli, our focus is on quality and care, not fancy packaging. We don’t use decorative wicker hampers for our cheeseboards — instead, your cheeses are packed in appropriately sized boxes with ice packs and insulation, ensuring they arrive in perfect, tip-top condition, ready to enjoy.

The price includes postage and packing, as well as a personalised handwritten message, making this the perfect ready-to-send gift for any cheese lover.

  • 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.

  • 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.
