        The Cheese Geek Ashcombe
        Ashcombe

        2 total reviews

        Semi hard

        Ashcombe was once described as "Smoother than Marvin Gaye" and we'd have to agree. There's a reason this handsome chap (and we're not just talking about the cheesemaker DJ), has won so many awards. An Alpine style cheese with a line of wood ash running through, giving you gentle milky flavours with a slightly smoky finish. 

        The Cheese Geek St Helena
        Stoney Cross

        4 total reviews

        Semi hard

        Loosely based on a Tomme de Savoie, Stoney Cross is a buttery, velvety cheese featuring a creamy centre with a bit of squidge encased in a rugged rind

        The Cheese Geek 250g Bath Soft
        Bath Soft

        2 total reviews

        SOFT

        This square-shaped cheese, made in the style of a Brie, is everything a good soft cheese should be. Softy, creamy, buttery and yielding, with a lovely bite from the rind. Whilst the centre of the Bath Soft cheese is very mild and buttery, the rind packs some more flavour, with mushroom, earthy damp vibes, and a teeny citrus/lemon tang hidden in there. It is a relatively mild cheese on the Brie-style spectrum, but beautifully complex, and not a cheese to be missed. (Their blue cheese won Best Cheese in World 2014!).

        BLUE

        For a flash of colour on your Christmas Cheese board, look no further than the stunning Shropshire Blue. Despite its name, Shropshire Blue is not made in Shropshire at all and is generally made in either Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire or Leicestershire. It is a pasteurised cow’s milk blue cheese with a semi-firm texture which is described as being a bit more mellow than a Stilton and edging towards qualities of a Cheshire! Over the course of maturation, this cheese develops a natural orange-brown rind and has a tangy aroma. The flavour is strong and sharp, with a metallic edge coming through from the starter cultures used.

        Bibury
        Semi hard

         

        A sheep's milk cheese made with milk from the flock at Sheaf House Farm just up the road in Gloucestershire. Made only seasonally from late March, Bibury comes to life in Autumn. Classic notes of meadow flowers and hay along with white chocolate and a fondant texture that is very appealing.

        HARD

        A scintillating 9-month aged gouda style cheese. 

        If there was ever a Goldilocks gouda, then this is it. Just young enough to be supple, buttery, nutty sweet and unbelievably moreish, yet old enough to have developed a slightly weathered earthiness and rich complexity. We reckon this tastes like liberally buttered jacket potato skins. Oh, and finish is a joy to behold, long, sweet and delightful.

        To top it off Swift Reserve pairs perfectly with coffee (yes, coffee). Transport yourself to the Med and enjoy a wedge of cheese with your morning caffeine. Keeping you fuller for longer and tasting shockingly good, it'll soon become part of your breakfast routine. Exclusive to cheesegeek.

        Look out for the Swift Black coming soon to one of London's most exciting coffee specialists!

        Quicke's Mature Cheddar
        HARD

        Mature, and not in a dull, doesn't like to leave the house way. Quicke's Mature is just fully developed. Quicke's the makers date back to 1540s so they know how to make goooood cheese. Handcrafted using grass-fed cow milk, this well rounded cheddar is typically matured for 12-18 months (hence the name) and brings you a variety of flavours from brothy to buttery to freshly mown grass and baked potato flavours. Always with the characteristic cheddar tang.

        SOFT

        British cider-washed soft cheese

        An unforgettable soft cheese, washed in cider. 

        A testament to British cheesemaking, and a nod to continental cheesemaking. Washington is a washed rind cheese destined for great things. When slightly younger, the flavours are fresher and crisper, with just a hint of fruitiness. Ripened on, it develops deep, savoury, meaty flavour, a bit like those famous continental pongers like Epoisses. However, the cider wash brings an astonishing fermented fruity funk, balancing the savoury flavours perfectly, all playing out amidst the most tantalising creamy, decadent, luxurious texture. A modern take on history, and a cheese for the ages.

        cheesegeek Perl Las
        Cornish Blue
        BLUE

        Designed to be eaten as a young cheese, Cornish Blue is a very different product from traditional English blue cheeses. Its flavour is mild and creamy, with a dense texture and buttery richness, instead of the ‘salty tang’ common of other traditional blue cheeses it has a gentle sweetness.

        Rutland Red
        HARD

        The only pasteurised Red Leicester to be produced in Leicester, this beaut is buttery and flaky and a firm favourite and both cheesegeek and Long Clawson, the cheesemakers. We're not the only ones to think so as Rutland Red has won many an award, we think the finish is reminiscent of a Creme Brulee. Red Leicester is classic on any cheeseboard and is also one of our top picks to cook with, Cauliflower Cheese we're looking at you!!

        HARD

        From Lynher Dairies, the makers of Cornish Yarg and Garlic Yarg, we welcome Cornish Kern—a stonker of a cheese. This beaut is off the chart with flavour. Encased in black wax, it is made in the style of a Gouda, however, the utilisation of Alpine starter cultures gives the cheese multiple dimensions. It has a real fruity twang, something like from an old sweet shop, except cheesy. Think exotic dried fruits, salted caramel, toasted hazelnuts and almonds, and although savoury, it simply tempts and teases you with a little bit of nutty buttery sweetness. All the flavours just linger beautifully in your mouth for the perfect amount of time. Its crumbly, crisp and slate-like texture simply arouses one's senses to another planet. An absolute worldy cheese....literally.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        Your cheese questions, answered

        Will my cheese stay fresh during delivery?

        Hell yeah! We are the very first cheese delivery company to insulate our boxes, so our chilling packs work a treat keeping your cheese in perfect condition until you have a chance to get it in the fridge/eat it immediately on the doorstep. Not judging here!

        What if I'm not in? That worries me a lot.

        Well it doesn't worry us cheesy amigo! That's because your cheese will be left as per your safe place instructions entered at checkout, and all the spiel about the insulating and chilling...well that applies for up to 48hrs. Your cheese is gonna be ok...as are you.

        I bought this cheese as a gift for someone else...what if my safe place instructions aren't...safe?

        As long as you have left a mobile number and/or email for the recipient, they will get delivery updates (although if it is a surprise best to enter your own), with an option to enter their own safe place instructions...you're off the hook, and your recipient's neighbours will not be getting free cheese.

        How should I store any leftover cheese?

        We love the idea of ordering the perfect amount of cheese without lots of leftovers because cheese can be a bit of a diva, and we strive to have it at its absolute best when we deliver it. However, if you do have some cheese left, keep it happy by wrapping it with the paper it arrived in (or any wax paper you may have) and in a separate compartment (so it doesn't dry out) in the fridge (not the coldest part)...did I mention cheese was a bit of a diva? If possible, keep your blues away from other perishables as it may try and turn them blue too! Remember to take your cheese back out of the fridge 1-2 hours before you're ready to tuck in to get it to room temperature – it can taste a little bland if too cold!

        How long do the cheeses keep?

        Soft cheese - up to 1 week
        Blue cheese - up to 1 week
        Hard cheese - up to 2 weeks

        We would always recommend eating the cheese we deliver to you as soon as possible though as that is when it will taste the best!

        I have a subscription, but I am due to be away on holiday for the next delivery date. Do I need to cancel my holiday?

        Cheese comes before everything else, and that includes holidays. BUT, luckily, you can have it both ways. Just get in touch, and we can change around your dates however suits you. You might say, you can have your cheesecake, and eat it. 

        Can I eat cheese while pregnant?

        This is not official advice and we recommend referring to the NHS website to make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re eating during pregnancy. As a general rule of thumb, you can eat any cheese as long as it’s totally cooked through – so you don’t have to give up cheese toasties! There is also plenty of evidence suggesting that hard, matured cheeses are also safe, even if they are unpasteurised. You should avoid all soft cheeses (unless fully baked through), including those with washed or bloomy (white) rinds and soft blue cheese, unless otherwise advised by a health care worker. Be aware of any uncooked puddings, such as cheesecake or ice cream, which may contain unpasteurized cheeses and milk.

        How do I recycle my packaging?

        At cheesegeek, we try and use the minimal amount of packaging needed to keep your cheese safe. Any packaging that we do use is carefully thought through. For more info on how to reuse or recycle your packaging, head to ourpackaging blog.

        Is there any allergy information I need to be aware of?

        If you have any allergies, to be on the safe side, it's best to email in and check with our Geeks. The email address is hello@thecheesegeek.com
