Fowlers have been producing cheese for over fourteen generations and can trace their cheesemaking heritage back to the 1670s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a territorial cheese, meaning one made in a particular region, in this case Warwickshire. The same applies to cheeses such as Lancashire and Cheshire. It was awarded Best Territorial Cheese in 2015 along with a Gold Medal at the British Cheese Awards the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasty and nutty, a hard-pressed, buttery and creamy textured cheese with the addition of fresh-tasting sage, which adds specks of green through the pale paste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eIt really depends on the occasion, and, of course, how much you love cheese!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eAs a general guide, for a cheeseboard serving 6 people, we recommend allowing 40–60g of each cheese per person, with 3–4 different cheeses at around 250g each. This gives you a good variety of flavours and textures, with enough for everyone to enjoy without creating too much leftover cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eFor parties, weddings, events or larger gatherings, the amount you’ll need can vary depending on how the cheese is being served and what else you’re offering. Our cheesemongers are always happy to help, so please get in touch by phone or email for personalised advice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003ePlease note: all cheeses are cut by hand;\u003cspan\u003e therefore,\u003c\/span\u003e the weights listed are approximate.

Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carefully pack every order to help keep your cheese in the best possible condition during transit. Royal Mail are very reliable, and most parcels arrive within 24 hours, but occasional delays can happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re ordering cheese for a special occasion, party or event, we recommend having it delivered a couple of days beforehand. This gives you some extra time in case of an unexpected courier delay and allows the cheese to rest and reach its best before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow We Pack Your Cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour cheese is wrapped in breathable waxed paper, which allows it to breathe while helping to protect it during transit and in your fridge. It is then placed inside a thermal foil pouch with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool on its journey. The gel pack will naturally defrost during transit; this is completely normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re also conscious of the environmental impact of packaging. Around 95% of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and make our business more sustainable. We believe great cheese should be enjoyed with consideration for the planet, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipe \/ pairing suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggestion – \u003ca href=\"\/products\/drivers-mini-pickled-onions\"\u003eDrivers Mini Balsamic Onions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA balsamic pickled onion against the sage and the butteriness is a delicious combination, it brings that sage and onion stuffing flavour to mind.
