Christmas cheeseboards: Where to buy cheese in Norfolk
A cheeseboard is one of Christmas’s greatest epicurean pleasures.
Tucking into a selection of cheeses accompanied by a few nice crackers, some local chutney and a glass of wine or a bottle of craft beer – we can’t think of anything nicer.
For something really special, swap the supermarket for a trip to one of Norfolk’s speciality cheese shops.
These are run by experts who are passionate about what they do and can help you to create the perfectly-balanced cheeseboard.
The Cheese Room, Jarrold, Norwich
The stuff of dreams for anyone who is seriously into cheese. As part of its recent gorgeous revamp, the Food Hall at Jarrold now has its very own cheese room, alongside the impressive array of local cheeses including the likes of Norton’s, Mrs Temple’s, St Helena’s and Baron Bigod on the deli counter.
The cheese room has a nostalgic old-fashioned grocery store feel and is refrigerated so the cheeses are aged to perfection.
And their knowledgeable team can help you curate your perfect cheeseboard and then will cut exactly the amount you need and wrap it to take home.
The Norfolk Deli, Hunstanton
Stocking around 100 cheeses, it’s clear that Mark and Rosie Kacary, owners of the award-winning Norfolk Deli in Hunstanton, really love their fromage.
In fact, they’re so passionate about it they’ve even got their own cheese club, where each month members get to sample some of the best cheeses from around the world.
They stock a huge range of Norfolk and Suffolk varieties, including the beer-washed Norfolk Tawny and Wissington, which has characteristics in common with manchego and pecorino, plus their favourite British and continental cheeses – and all the accompaniments you could need.
