Gouda with Cumin

Gouda with Cumin is a traditional Gouda with a twist. An unusual creamy, washed curd Gouda with the addition of pungent, aromatic cumin seeds, giving a warm spicy flavour that blends beautifully with the texture of the cheese.

Gouda is a semi-soft cows milk cheese from the Netherlands, named after the town where it was originally traded. It is traditionally made in flat wheels, each with a thin natural rind and a smooth, ivory coloured interior. One of the oldest European cheeses, popular since the twelfth century.

A whole cheese weighs approximately 5kg. If you would like a whole wheel, please contact us and we can arrange it for you.

All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.

We send our cheese by Royal Mail Tracked 24, with next-day delivery available across all UK postcodes for £4.99 per parcel. Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.

We 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.

If 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.

We currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.

Every order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.

Your 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.

Finally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.

We’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.

Cured meats and a dark rye bread suit the warm spice. It also melts well, which makes it an interesting choice for a toastie.
