Neal's Yard Dairy Selection Box with wool liner for insulation and containing cut pieces of cheese wrapped in waxed paper

Community Cheese of the Month Selection

Looking for a way to contribute to a good cause whilst eating some delicious cheese?

This selection contains the same range as our popular 'Cheese of the Month Selection' but includes a £2.50 donation to an organisation close to our hearts. For each box sold Neal's Yard Dairy will match this donation, meaning every order placed will result in a £5 contribution overall.

The recipients of this donation will rotate every few months. As is suggested in the title, the donation will go to an organisation that works to benefit a community we are closely involved with - whether that be our local community, the cheese community or the wider food community

All donations for boxes purchased in November 2021 - June 2022 will go to:

Standard delivery is free to most postcodes in the UK for orders over £29.50. Click here for a list of postcodes where additional delivery charges apply.

Collection from our London shops is free - choose Shop Collection at checkout.

Select your preferred delivery date at checkout. As we use third party couriers (typically DPD) we cannot guarantee the arrival day of your order but we will do our best to ensure that it arrives as close as possible to your chosen date. To be sure it arrives in time, we suggest choosing a date a couple of days ahead of when you would like to eat your cheese.

If you have ordered a cheese subscription, your second and subsequent deliveries will occur approximately 30 days after your first delivery date.

Frequently we have limited quantities of new or experimental cheeses which we introduce to our customers through this selection. This makes the selection a good choice if you want to keep up to date with the latest developments in British cheese making.

Tower of whole and various sized cut pieces of clothbound Corra Linn sheep’s milk cheese with creamy, succulent paste

Close up of a cut piece of clothbound Corra Linn sheep’s milk cheese with creamy, succulent paste

Corra Linn

milk type
Sheep

ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet

coagulant
Animal Rennet

Flavours are lightly floral and brothy, with savoury notes of roast lamb. Corra Linn has feathery, slightly grainy textured paste. When chewed the texture is creamy and succulent.

Ogleshield

milk type
Cow

ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet

coagulant
Animal Rennet

The West Country’s answer to raclette, Ogleshield is a gentle yet complex cheese, with a sweet and milky aroma and warm, savoury flavour reminiscent of chicken broth. The texture beneath the pungent pink rind is soft and pliant, and it melts beautifully.

*Please note that we occasionally sell a raw milk version of this cheese. The piece you receive will show the milk treatment involved in the batch that we send. If you have any concerns about this, please contact us prior to purchasing.

Sinodun Hill

milk type
Goat

ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet

coagulant
Vegetarian Coagulant

The yoghurty flavour of this cheese is complemented by a delicate, almost red-fruit flavour from the wrinkly, golden coloured rind. The texture of the paste is pleasantly light, almost whipped.

Minimum: 180g.

Westcombe Cheddar

milk type
Cow

ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet

coagulant
Animal Rennet

A smooth, well rounded farmhouse Cheddar from Somerset, selected for its warm, lingering flavours and happy balance of creaminess and acidity.

Clothbound with lard.
