The finished cheeses are matured on spruce shelves to add another dimension of flavour, then boxed to contain the soft, fragrant, almost liquid interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be enjoyed either spooned from the box at room temperature, or baked gently in the oven still in its box and served fondue style with crusty bread, crudités and warm new potatoes. This is the perfect sharing cheese and, we think, an absolute must over Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe individual cheese weighs 500g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eIt really depends on the occasion, and, of course, how much you love cheese!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eAs a general guide, for a cheeseboard serving 6 people, we recommend allowing 40–60g of each cheese per person, with 3–4 different cheeses at around 250g each. This gives you a good variety of flavours and textures, with enough for everyone to enjoy without creating too much leftover cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eFor parties, weddings, events or larger gatherings, the amount you’ll need can vary depending on how the cheese is being served and what else you’re offering. Our cheesemongers are always happy to help, so please get in touch by phone or email for personalised advice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003ePlease note: all cheeses are cut by hand;\u003cspan\u003e therefore,\u003c\/span\u003e the weights listed are approximate.

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\u003eSuggestion – \u003ca href=\"\/products\/antipasto-sharing-pack\"\u003eAntipasto Cured Meat Selection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBake it in the box and serve fondue style with cured meats, crusty bread, cured meats, cornichons and hot new potatoes.
