Description
Tunworth is a superb handmade, pasteurised, bloomy English camembert-style cheese, made using special cultures and traditional rennet. Matured for between four and six weeks, it delivers a rich, creamy and quite unique flavour, each one made from carefully selected cows milk in the heart of Hampshire.
Tunworth was judged Supreme Champion at the British Cheese Awards in both 2006 and 2013, beating over 840 other entries, and has also taken gold at the World Cheese Awards. According to Raymond Blanc it is the best camembert in the world.
How much to buy
Sold as an individual cheese. Each cheese weighs approximately 250g.
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
Your cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose. We deliver across the UK from Tuesday to Friday each week. If you are ordering for a gift or special occasion we advise you to always allow an extra day in case of any unforeseen courier delays.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
As with a traditional camembert, Tunworth is an excellent cheese for baking, like a little fondue for two. It is not just a winter dish either: wrap the cheese in foil and put it on the barbecue for dipping sausages, cured meats and crusty bread.
Bake it whole, tear up some bread and put it in the middle of the table. Nothing else required.
FAQ
How should I store my cheese once it arrives?
Cheese is best kept in the fridge wrapped in the waxed paper or packaging it arrives in. Avoid plastic wrap, as cheese needs to breathe.

Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver throughout the UK mainland. Some remote areas may have longer delivery times.
