The Great Norfolk Cheese Hamper

An extraordinary celebration of Norfolk’s finest cheesemakers

Bringing together the very best of Norfolk cheese, this luxurious hamper is the ultimate expression of the county’s rich dairying heritage. Featuring creations from Mrs Temple’s, The Goat Shed, Norfolk & Better, Ferndale Farm, Wilton Farm, and Julie Cheyne, it’s a true “who’s who” of Norfolk’s cheesemaking talent — a showcase of local cheese, cows’ milk, goats’ milk, and ewe’s milk cheeses, all lovingly handmade in small batches.

Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting a true cheese lover, The Great Norfolk Cheese Hamper embodies the Best of British and the Best of Norfolk, presented with all the care, flavour, and provenance you’d expect from The Norfolk Deli.

Inside this hamper you’ll find:

• Norfolk Mardler (approx. 250g) – Made by The Goat Shed (Fielding Cottage) in Honingham. A semi-hard goat’s milk cheese with a gentle tang, smooth texture, and clean finish.

• Wissington (approx. 250g) – Handmade by Becky Enefer at Wilton Farm using ewe’s milk from her own flock. Smooth, creamy, and delicately nutty.

• Norbert (approx. 200gm in its own container) – Created by Norfolk & Better, this Norfolk take on Camembert blends the first three letters of Norfolk with the last three of Camembert. Brined and matured to a rich, buttery texture with mellow savoury depth.

Freshness & storage

Most of our 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 carry a minimum shelf life of 10 days from the date of cutting.

Cheese is far more robust than many realise  it’s designed to travel and mature naturally. 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.
