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 curated collection of the region’s finest artisan cheeses

Bringing together the very best from Norfolk and Suffolk, The East Anglian Cheesemonger’s Selection celebrates the rich diversity and craftsmanship of our region’s most skilled cheesemakers. From soft, creamy farmhouse cheeses to bold, characterful blues and mellow hard varieties, this hamper offers a true taste of East Anglia — a showcase of local cheese, artisan tradition, and Best of British excellence.

Lovingly sourced from small, independent dairies, each cheese tells its own story of the land and the people behind it — from the lush grazing pastures of Norfolk to the rolling meadows of Suffolk.

Inside this hamper you’ll find:

  • Suffolk Gold (approx. 250g) – Made by The Suffolk Farmhouse Cheese Company in Creeting St Mary. A semi-hard cow’s milk cheese with a rich golden colour, smooth texture, and gentle buttery sweetness. Matured to perfection for a mellow finish that’s pure Suffolk sunshine.
  • Wensum White (approx. 180g) – Crafted by The Goat Shed in Honingham. A soft, bloomy-rind goat’s milk cheese, Wensum White is Norfolk’s answer to a brie — creamy, delicate, and beautifully fresh, with a subtle tang and luxurious texture.
  • Baron Bigod (approx. 250g box) – Produced by Fen Farm Dairy near Bungay, Suffolk. A luxurious, unpasteurised cow’s milk brie with earthy mushroom notes, buttery richness, and an indulgent soft centre. Arguably East Anglia’s most famous cheese.
  • Jiffler Blue or Binham Blue (approx. 250g) – We aim to include Jiffler Blue from Norfolk & Better, a creamy, smooth blue-veined cheese with a well-balanced tang. However, during certain times of the year, availability may mean substituting Binham Blue from Mrs Temple’s Cheeses, Norfolk’s classic blue, celebrated for its soft texture and gentle saltiness.
  • Pinkfoot (approx. 250g) – Handmade by Ferndale Farm Dairy in Little Barningham, Norfolk. A semi-hard cow’s milk cheese with a nutty, rounded flavour and beautiful natural rind — named after the pink-footed geese that migrate across the Norfolk skies each winter.
  • Pack of artisan cheese crackers – Specially chosen to complement both soft and hard cheeses.
  • Jar of The Garden Pantry chutney – Handmade in Norfolk with seasonal ingredients, offering the perfect sweet and tangy balance for your cheeseboard.

Featuring cheeses from independent Norfolk/Suffolk cheesemakers, selected for balance and seasonality. Meet some of the Cheesemakers behind our hampers. Visit our Norfolk Producers Hub

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 flavour.

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

Cheese is far more resilient than many people assume — designed to travel, mature, and improve with time. For expert advice 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.

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.
