Description
Smoked Snowdonia is a mature cheddar-style cheese, naturally smoked over beechwood chippings so the smoke runs right through the paste rather than sitting on the surface. Slightly soft in texture, with a good full flavour that never becomes overbearing and lets the character of the cheese through.
The Snowdonia Cheese Company was founded in 2001 on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, where they still make their cheeses today. They started out selling at farmers markets and found success almost immediately. Their cheeses now reach over two thousand locations around the UK, and their high animal welfare standards have translated into medals at both the International and World Cheese Awards.
How much to buy
A whole cheese weighs approximately 2kg.
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.
Delivery
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.
How We Pack Your Cheese
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.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
Suggestion – FIREFLAME CHILLI JAM
A chilli jam stands up well to the smoke without smothering it. It also makes an outstanding cheese toastie and melts cleanly into a sauce.
Naturally smoked, not smoke-flavoured, and the difference is obvious the moment you taste it.
