Norfolk White Lady

Norfolk White Lady is a full fat, soft, bloomy, camembert-style ewes milk cheese with a velvety paste. Delicious oven baked like a classic camembert, and ideal for anyone who cannot eat cows milk cheeses and misses this style.

It is made at Willow Farm in Deopham near Wymondham, Norfolk. Norfolk is not known for dairy, as cheesemaker Jane Murray points out, but her patch of land has richer, wetter soil than other parts of the county. The cheese is handmade on the farm using milk from a sixty-strong herd of white Friesian sheep grazing the Black Fens of Wymondham.

Jane began making cheese with milk from her flock twenty-one years ago, becoming the county's first commercial cheesemaker, and is still the only cheesemaker selling ewes milk cheese in Norfolk.

Each cheese weighs approximately 170g.

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.

Pairing Suggestion – Thyme Infused Honey

Score the top of the cheese, pour this delicious French honey over the top and bake in the oven until golden and bubbling. Dip in breadsticks and cured meats and serve with a big glass of red wine for a delicious picky tea.
