Say Raclette and your mind drifts to the alps. It’s been a long day on the slopes, you can’t feel your toes...then you remember the whole reason you came skiing. The glorious melted cheese is peppered with potatoes, cornichons, and charcuterie. Ogleshield is our British equivalent and the West Country's answer to raclette. Made by Montgomery’s (yes, the cheddar guys) it's aromatic with a real depth of flavour - we get hints of onion soup, maybe even chicken gravy. All we know for sure is, it melts like a dream. No arguments, it’s a definite winter warmer (and no need to go skiing to try it).

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.

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
