Individual cheeses (soft or hard) on the whole last better than cut cheeses, and you can expect a natural shelf life of two weeks from receipt on all the individual cheeses we deliver. (Exceptions are very fresh goats' milk cheeses like Perroche and Innes Buttons, which, if not eaten within three to four days, may be frozen very happily).

Hard cut cheeses like Cheddar and robust blues like Stilton, if carefully wrapped and stored in waxed paper or foil, keep for a week or more.

Soft cut cheeses ike Gorgonzola and Brie de Meaux are more temperamental. As a result we advise that you only order what you are planning to eat in the next three to four days, or consider ordering cheeses with a better keeping quality, like Camembert or a baby Cornish Blue, as an alternative to Gorgonzola.

All cheese selections contain general instructions about the care and storage of cheese. However, we are of course happy to answer questions about any particular concerns you may have. Call us on 01225 448748.
