Great cheeses

"Beechwood and Black Bomber are two cheeses that never disappoint! They’re always packed with flavour, beautifully creamy and absolutely delicious every single time. They’ve become firm favourites in our house and are perfect for enjoying on their own, with crackers, or as part of a lovely cheeseboard. The quality is consistently fantastic, which is why I keep coming back for more. You really can’t go wrong with these two — definitely cheeses I would highly recommend to any cheese lover! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Beautiful

"Just ordered the Black Bomber with the onion chutney and truckle knife. Very happy with the products and speed of delivery. The chutney is delicious and the knife is beautiful."

— R W. (5/5)

Lovely creamy cheddar

"Black Bomber is a lovely creamy cheddar with a strong taste. I've come to love the Snowdonia cheeses, they've spoilt me for any other cheeses now!! All the cheeses have their own distinctive taste and none of them are waxy like other cheddars I have tried."

— Christine C. (5/5)

Chutney

"Ordered chutney, thrilled it is now in a larger jar. Taste wonderful, also bought my favourite cheese Black Bomber. Good web site, prompt service."

Black Bomber

"An excellent present for my son in law’s retirement . . . his favourite cheese. I will be returning at Christmas!"

— Carol P. (5/5)

Bad delivery

"The cheese is the best, but the delivery was very poor, I was told by the delivery company that my cheese would be delivered on the Saturday, but in fact it was delivered on the Monday, and left on the door step in the blazing sun, hence no icebags frozen, no coolness, just a melting block of cheese"

— Denise S. (5/5)
