Artisan Christmas Cheese
Christmas is our busiest time for cheese deliveries so we have spent a long time preparing this exclusive artisan cheese selection for your Christmas enjoyment! It's certainly a hectic time of year, but we find it so rewarding to hear your positive reviews, to talk to you on the phone about how Paxton & Whitfield cheese has become such a Christmas tradition for your families and to package your thoughtful gifts to deliver the joy of artisan cheese to your family & friends at Christmas.
We anticipate even more Christmas cheese orders this year, so please do order as early as possible and secure your delivery slots when you go to checkout - if you forget anything you can edit your order closer to the time too. We aim for your Christmas cheese to be in date for at least 12 days from the date of you receiving it, so you can book an earlier slot and know that you have everything ready for your Christmas enjoyment.
We wish you a most wonderful Christmas 2024 and thank you for your incredible support this year.
Please note, if you are shopping at Paxton & Whitfield, hampers available on pre-order will affect your whole order, so we suggest checking out separately with your pre-order hamper for your chosen delivery date to avoid your entire order being dispatched with the pre-order hamper.

Orders from the 14th December onwards will have Christmas dated cheese.
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.
