We sell mail order farmhouse cheese and offer over 100 varieties of cheese from around the world
At the Granary delicatessen our cheeses are carefully selected and presented, to avoid, wherever possible, cheeses found in supermarkets. The range of cheeses on offer in the Granary wherever possible therefore is produced on a small, farmhouse style production level. Very little of the Granary's range is made in factories. Cheddars and Double Gloucester cheese at the Granary tastes very different from those found in a supermarket!

However Brebiou and Pave d'Affinois cheeses, although factory produced are delicious cheeses and are therefore included in our range.

To help you make up your mind we at the Granary have put together some of our most popular cheeses, as well as some of the cheeses that we are most proud of.

Hard cheeses, for example cheddars and territorials e.g. double Gloucester and 'crumbly' cheeses, for example Wensleydale and Lancashire The curd is pressed hard to maximise the reduction of whey.Immersion in brine also reduces the whey, in the case of Parmeggiano. Crumbly cheeses are pressed lightly resulting in a crumbly curd structure. VIEW
Soft white cheeses, for example Brie, Coulommiers and Camembert These are mould ripened cheeses. VIEW
Semi-soft cheeses, for example Reblochon, Morbier,Irish Gubbeen These are washed curd or washed rind cheeses. VIEW
Blue cheeses, for example Colston Bassett Stilton, Oxford Blue The curd is loosely packed with holes for the whey to escape. Mould is then injected into the curd and allowed to grow in the loosely packed curds. VIEW
Speciality cheeses, for example Cornish Yarg, oak smoked Wensleydale Cheeses are either enhanced by additive flavours, wrappings or by being smoked. VIEW
Fresh and natural rind cheeses, for example Innes Buttons, Mozarella, Cerney goats' cheese. Most fresh cheeses must be eaten within day's of being made unless preserved in salt or oil e.g. feta or halloumi. Some fresh cheeses evolve into natural rind cheeses if left to drain and dry out. VIEW
Goats cheeses, for example Ticklemore, Brinkburn, Swaledale goat VIEW
Ewes milk cheeses, for example Wigmore, Spenwood,Berskwell and Marlow VIEW
Not for the faint hearted cheeses!, for example Langres AOC, Isle of Mull cheddar and Stinking Bishop VIEW

Looking after your cheese

Cheese storage

Factory cheese is made to eat as it emerges from the factory. It will not change or 'mature'. It is therefore best kept in the fridge, but keep it wrapped so that it does not dry out.

Most of our cheeses are hand made and will change as they mature. A little more care therefore needs to be taken with them. Our best advice is to buy exactly what you need to eat and to keep it in the wrap we sell it to you in.

Then keep it in 'cellar-like' conditions until you need it. This might be a cool 'spare' bedroom, garage or cupboard. An hour or two hours before planning to eat the cheese bring into the room where you will eat it, to allow the cheese to 'warm up'.

Biscuits or Bread?

We believe it's a matter of taste. Some prefer bread, others prefer biscuits or crackers.

The French prefer no accompaniment and the Scottish prefer oatcakes.

The cheese may also influence your choice of cracker. We sell very good biscuits for cheese, including oatcakes, fine water biscuits and a range of Millers Damsels crackers. We also sell the Fine Cheese range of crackers and biscuits. All our cheese biscuits are made without hydrogenated fat.
