If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe send our cheese by Royal Mail Tracked 24, with next-day delivery available across all UK postcodes for £4.99 per parcel.

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.

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=\"https:\/\/thecheesesociety.co.uk\/products\/antipasto-sharing-pack\" title=\"British Antipasti Meat Selection\"\u003eBritish Antipasti Meat Selection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBaked in the oven topped with white wine, garlic and rosemary.
