The Cheesemonger’s Notes

An award-winning organic Somerset Cheddar with smooth texture, rich depth, and exceptional balance

Godminster Vintage Organic Cheddar is a handcrafted farmhouse Cheddar made in Bruton, Somerset, using organic milk from carefully managed British dairy herds. Matured for up to 12 months, it reflects both traditional cheesemaking methods and Godminster’s commitment to regenerative organic farming.

Produced in the lush pastures of Somerset, the milk used for Godminster Cheddar comes from organically raised cows grazing freely on rich, diverse pasture. Organic farming practices prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare, creating a sustainable ecosystem that directly enhances the quality and flavour of the milk.

Only the finest cheeses are selected to become Godminster Vintage Organic Cheddar. Each truckle is matured carefully, allowing the cheese to develop its distinctive texture and depth of flavour while maintaining its characteristic smoothness and balance.

The texture is firm yet creamy, offering a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel. The flavour is rich and rounded, combining savoury depth with gentle nuttiness and subtle sweetness. Buttery notes form the foundation, while maturation brings complexity and a lingering finish that makes it incredibly moreish.

Godminster’s signature wax coating protects the cheese during maturation while preserving its condition and flavour. The result is a Cheddar that balances tradition, sustainability, and exceptional quality.

Made using organic milk and matured with care in Somerset, Godminster Vintage Organic Cheddar represents the modern evolution of traditional British farmhouse cheddar.

Cut to order at The Norfolk Deli, every piece is prepared fresh to ensure optimal flavour and condition.

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.
