Is there a lot of packaging?
We do use double-lined cardboard boxes, foil liners and recyclable ice packs for our packaging. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable as the products must be kept chilled during transit. Luckily our boxes are curb-side recyclable and our ice pack contents are non-toxic, and so can be emptied into a bin before recycling the plastic.
How do I store my cheeses when they arrive?
Once your products are delivered you will need to refrigerate all fresh produce (e.g. cheeses, meat alternatives and butters) and keep below 5C. We would also recommend keeping cheeses in a sealed container once opened to keep them fresher for longer. Please make sure you read the storage instructions and allergen information on each product to ensure you store and consume your products safely.
Do you ship outside of the UK?
Not yet! Please subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on this, as we are currently talking to our courier of shipping cheeses internationally. We will send an update once progress is made on this front.
