The Great Continental Cheese Board
An indulgent showcase of Europe’s most iconic cheeses
For those who believe more is more, The Great Continental Cheese Board expands on our smaller selection with two additional continental showstoppers and extra accompaniments — creating the ultimate European cheeseboard experience.
This is an indulgent, luxurious collection designed for the serious cheese lover — featuring creamy French brie, aged Alpine styles, bold blues, nutty Spanish icons, and delicate goat’s milk treasures. Whether shared at a dinner party or given as a gift, it’s the perfect celebration of European cheese artistry.
Inside this cheeseboard you’ll find:
-
Starnachas (approx. 250g) – Aged Swiss-style cheese with a nutty sweetness and firm, buttery texture. A taste of the Alps in every bite.
-
Grand Noir (approx. 250g) – A velvety German blue cheese, ripened to perfection in black wax. Creamy, elegant, and wonderfully balanced.
-
Drunk Monk (approx. 250g) – A bold washed-rind cheese infused with brandy during maturation for a rich aroma and deep, lingering finish.

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 will have a minimum shelf life of 10 days from the date of cutting.
Cheese is more resilient 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.
