  • Loved the Genesis!

    cheesegeek The Genesis

    We really enjoyed the selection of cheeses, not necessarily the type we usually choose so opened our eyes and tastebuds! It was an anniversary treat and it really was a treat, arrived as planned and was thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you

Swift Reserve

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.

cheesegeek Eastwood

Eastwood

A gangbusting soft, Brie-style cheese fit for any cheeseboard. 

It brings everything you would want and expect from a Brie-style cheese, but in the most elegant and refined way possible. Intense creaminess of course, wild garlic leaves, a damp earthiness and the most subtle, contrasting fruity citrus snap running through the middle, holding everything together. 

Ripened to perfection, EASTWOOD will have wonderful breakdown inside the rind, and a chalky centre around an inch in thickness. Dreamy.

Washington

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 Hendrix

Hendrix

The texture of HENDRIX is the first thing that hits you, semi-soft, forgiving, silky and melt-in-the-mouth. It is the blue cheese equivalent of eating a Galaxy chocolate bar, and so unusual in the world of blue cheese. This is the starting point for what is both an incredibly accessible and balanced blue cheese, but also complex and characterful. It carries an unmistakable sea saltiness and minerality, reflecting its provenance by the west coast of Wales, which balances the richness of the milk perfectly.

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
