We present to you, Lincolnshire Poacher's older brother. Eating Double Barrel is like watching HD for the first time when you always thought non-HD was absolutely fine. Before you know it, you cannot live without it anymore. If you thought Poacher was eye-opening, Double Barrel is a must try. It gives you everything a great Cheddar should, but on top of that, another layer of deep burnt butter, nutty happiness that just makes you want to curl up in a ball and giggle. An alpine style cheese with deep pineapple notes and seriously complex flavours that will leave you mind-blown.

Delivery is FREE and it comes in a climate control box (the only in the industry) that comes with a 48 hour freshness guarantee. If that wasn't enough, we also add an insert that will talk you through the info on the cheeses, tasting notes and a scorecard to help you make the very most of your festive cheesegeek delivery.

Christmas Delivery Information Close Icon for Delivery Drawer

The week before Christmas is our (and our courier’s) busiest time of the year. Please use the delivery date you have selected as a guide rather than a guarantee. We will ensure that:

- Your delivery will arrive within 2 days of your preferred date (either before or after)

- Your cheese will still arrive in the best condition. It will have been prepared freshly and will not have been with our courier beyond our maximum of 48hrs

- Your cheese will be perfect for Christmas (whether for yourself or a gift)

- You will receive delivery notifications for when your order is dispatched that mean you can track when it’s in transit

If you aren’t in for your delivery, this won’t matter. Our couriers will leave your cheese in you designated safe place in our climate controlled packaging.

We’re a small business working with an (incredible) perishable product. For advice on delivery or any cheesy questions, get in touch via the live chat or on hello@thecheesegeek.com

Meet the Maker

Simon Jones made his first batch of cheese in 1992 with raw milk from his father's Fresian herd. From then, with brother Tim's help, the dairy has grown and places great focus on limiting their impact on the environment with instillation of a turbine and solar panels
