The Temple of Cheese

The best of Norfolk’s artisan cheese, handcrafted by Catherine Temple

There are few names more synonymous with Norfolk cheese than Mrs Temple’s. Crafted with care and tradition by Catherine Temple at Copys Green Farm in Wighton, each cheese tells the story of Norfolk’s lush pastures, rich heritage, and dedication to artisan food making.

The Temple of Cheese Hamper brings together the very best of Mrs Temple’s Norfolk cheeses — a curated showcase of handcrafted, cows’ milk cheeses that capture the true flavour of our county. It’s a perfect choice for those who love local cheese, celebrate the Best of British produce, or simply want to enjoy the distinctive character that defines cheese from Norfolk.

Smooth, mellow, nutty, rich and creamy, this is Norfolk cheesemaking at its finest.

Inside this hamper you’ll find:

• Copys Cloud (180g truckle) – A soft, bloomy-rind cheese inspired by traditional French styles but with a gentle Norfolk twist. Buttery, creamy and luxuriously smooth.

• Walsingham (approx. 250g) – A semi-hard farmhouse cheese with a mild tang and satisfying texture; a versatile all-rounder for any cheeseboard.

• Wells Alpine (approx. 250g) – Matured for depth and complexity, this Alpine-style cheese offers nutty, savoury tones and a firm, golden texture.

• Binham Blue (approx. 250g) – Norfolk’s best-known blue, creamy and well-balanced with a subtle tang and streaks of natural blue veining.

• Gurney Gold (approx. 150g) – A semi-hard, washed-rind cheese with a golden hue, buttery aroma, and mellow sweetness; pure Norfolk sunshine in cheese form.

• Pack of artisan crackers – Perfect for pairing with soft and hard cheeses alike.

• Jar of The Garden Pantry chutney – Locally made, the ideal sweet-savoury balance to complement Catherine Temple’s cheeses.

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. All cheeses are cut on the day of dispatch or, at the latest, the day before, ensuring freshness and quality.
Cut cheeses will have a minimum shelf life of 10 days from the date of cutting.

Cheese is far more robust than most realise. For guidance on how to look after your cheese, please read our latest blog post on cheese refrigeration and storage, offering our professional insight into keeping your cheese in perfect condition.

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.
