Pre-ordering lets you secure your cheese selection now and choose a delivery date that works for you later. This way, you can plan your Christmas cheese needs in advance and enjoy peace of mind as the festive season approaches.

We will be busy shipping out your Christmas deliveries up until 20th December. Due to the demand of certain dates, there is a small surcharge applied at checkout. This includes orders over the £40 delivery threshold. However, we still have plenty of free dates available in the run up to the festive season. Please see the date selector at basket.

You can place your Christmas order now up until the 20th December for delivery before Christmas.

Our cheeses have a varied shelf life, but our cut cheeses have approximately 12 days shelf life from the date the order is despatched. And our individual (not cut cheeses) will have a best before sticker.

The majority of our cheeses are wrapped in waxed paper, which allows the best balance between maintaining humidity around the cheese and allowing it to breathe at the same time. Cut pieces of cheese should be kept in the fridge to slow down mould growth. We recommend storing the waxed paper in a box inside the fridge, this prevents cheese from absorbing additional aromas in the fridge.

If you have purchased a whole cheese, like our Stilton, they may be too large to fit in your fridge whole. During the winter months, you can improvise by keeping your cheese in a cellar or cool room. Please be aware that when you store cheese out of the fridge, your cheese will develop more quickly. This can result in more rounded flavours.

If your gift contains cheese or meat, please ensure this is refrigerated upon receipt of the parcel to ensure the quality of the cheese/meat is maintained and food safe.
