Cheese & Red Wine Selection

Adding to Basket Added to Basket

Each month we choose a selection of cheeses we are enjoying most, together with a 75cl bottle of low intervention, natural red wine.

We'll pop some tasting notes for all the cheeses and the wine into the box too, which explain the reasons for the choices we've made, and give you some ideas for food pairings.

Each box will normally contain approx. 500g of cheese, which is enough for 4 to 5 people in one sitting, or around half that over a couple of days.


The selection for July includes:

  • A bottle of Intellego Syrah 2023. 75cl. 12.5% abv. 100% Syrah. 
  • 200g of Mahon
  • 200g of Stichelton
  • One Perail (min. 150g)

    Allergens - see list below.

     

    At times we can sell out of some items at short notice, which means we may need to substitute. If this happens, the substitute will be equally great tasting, and of equal or greater value.

      You can choose to collect your online order at our shop or have it delivered.

      Our standard delivery charge for orders under £50 is £8 to any address in Great Britain on an overnight service. Orders of £50 or more are delivered for free using this service, as are all subscriptions.

      Whilst most orders do arrive on the chosen date, we rely on a third party provider and therefore we cannot guarantee delivery dates. Your order may arrive 1 or 2 days either side of your preferred date. This is more likely at very busy times, particularly Christmas.

      If you live within 8 miles of our Chelsea shop you may wish to use our local London Delivery service? The cost for this ranges from £6 to £19, depending on distance, and you can choose a delivery as soon as within the next hour or so, to a named one-hour time slot and a date up to 6 months in the future. London deliveries are made in our sturdy shop carrier bags. If you would like your order to be boxed, please leave us a note as you check out.

      If you'd like to collect your order, simply choose 'Shop Collection' at the checkout, and a time and date that's convenient for you. We'll send you an email on the collection day to let you know the order is ready to pick up.

      Please refer to our Ordering & Delivery page for more information.

      As a general rule of thumb, we recommend around 100 grams per person for after dinner, and up to 150 grams if cheese is the focus of the meal.

      If you are buying cheese to serve over a couple of days or as part of a buffet, it is advisable to buy a few larger pieces. This will look better and keep better than several smaller bits.

      To help visualise weights, a good tip is to consider that a regular supermarket block of butter weighs 250 grams.

      How long will my cheese last?

      There are a huge array of factors which affect how long cheese will last, but as a general rule we would recommend eating your cheese within 5-10 days of receiving it. Softer cheeses should be eaten the soonest, whilst harder cheeses will generally last the longest.

      If you need your cheese to last, buy larger pieces as these tend to keep better and longer. They will also look better on the dinner table, if you are entertaining guests for example. Also, buy it as close to when you want to serve it as possible (although if you are having your cheese delivered, also remember to allow for a few days leeway in case of delivery disruption).

      If you have any concerns over whether your cheese is safe to eat, please drop us a line and we’ll be very happy to help.
