{"product_id":"skegness-blue","title":"Skegness Blue","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in the heart of rural Lincolnshire, just six miles from the nostalgic seaside town of Skegness. When developing Skegness Blue, the makers set out to combine the tang and richness of a Stilton with the full flavour of a Brie. What they achieved is a creamy, mellow blue with a lingering flavour and a salty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cheese is now made at the Hartington Creamery in the Peak District in Derbyshire. The Duke of Devonshire established the original creamery there in the 1870s, producing a white crumbly Derbyshire cheese until fire partially destroyed it in 1894. Today the creamery makes a wide range of award-winning blues, and has kept both the character and the depth of flavour in this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a general guide, we recommend 40–60g of each cheese per person. For a cheeseboard serving 6 people, we’d suggest 3–5 different cheeses at around 250g each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can.\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. 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\u003ePairing Suggestion – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thecheesesociety.co.uk\/products\/wild-fruitful-ploughmans-pickle\" title=\"Ploughman's Pickle\"\u003ePloughman's Pickle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cheese has a pillowy velvetty texture, not too strong but not too mild. Delicious with well balances chutneys such as the Ploughman's Pickle or a drizzle of honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCheese quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of my favourite blues and a great crowd-pleaser. I personally enjoy it spread over sourdough toast with grated fresh pear, a drizzle of honey and black pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJOSH, CHEESEMONGER\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"The Cheese Society","offers":[{"title":"2000g","offer_id":57002991026559,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1500g","offer_id":57003627774335,"sku":null,"price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":57003627807103,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750g","offer_id":57003627839871,"sku":null,"price":24.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":57003627872639,"sku":null,"price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":57003627905407,"sku":null,"price":8.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/6506\/0735\/files\/IMG_9660-scaled.jpg?v=1771762744","url":"https:\/\/thecheesesociety.co.uk\/products\/skegness-blue","provider":"The Cheese Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
