Summer has a way of slowing everything down - longer evenings, impromptu gatherings, and those golden-hour moments that call for something delicious on the table. Our Getting Cheesy With It selection is designed exactly for that:a ready-to-open box of Northumberland favourites that turns any sunny afternoon into an effortless feast.
Curated for grazing, gifting, and easy entertaining, this online-exclusive box (£28) brings together four of our most-loved cheeses, two artisan oatcakes, and a smoky, summer-perfect chutney. Whether you’re heading out for a picnic, hosting friends in the garden, or simply treating yourself, it’s the kind of box that makes life taste better.
🧀 What’s Inside the Box
A celebration of local flavour and small-batch craft.
- Original - Our classic cheese:creamy, mellow, and endlessly versatile.
- Nettle - A fresh, herbaceous favourite with a gentle lift from added nettles.
- Chesterwood - A gently oak-smoked goats' cheese witha sweet, smooth, delicately smoky finish.
- Cragside - A golden double Gloucester with chive and onions, perfect for pairing with something bold.
To accompany the cheese:
- Northumbrian Pantry Smoky Tomato & Chilli Chutney - Sweet, smoky, and lightly spiced; the flavour of summer in a jar.
- Stockans Orkney Thin Oatcakes - Crisp, light, and ideal for layering.
- Maclean’s Scottish Seaweed & Black Pepper Oatcakes - Savoury, aromatic, and a brilliant match for Cragside.
🌿 Made for Summer Grazing
This selection is built for relaxed, unfussy eating. Lay everything out on a board, add fresh tomatoes, berries, or a handful of nuts, and you’ve got a grazing spread that feels generous without any effort. The chutney brings warmth and sweetness, the oatcakes add crunch, and the cheeses do what they do best - shine.
It’s also a perfect picnic companion. The cheeses travel well, the chutney is picnic-proof, and the oatcakes won’t crumble in your bag. Just add sunshine.
🎁 A Gift That Feels Thoughtful
If you’re looking for a summer birthday present, a thank-you gift, or something special for a host, this box hits the sweet spot. It’s personal, local, and delicious - and because it’s curated, it feels like a gift with intention rather than a last-minute grab.
🍷 Easy Entertaining
Pair with a chilled white wine, a light rosé, or even a crisp cider. Add olives, charcuterie, or fresh bread if you want to stretch it further. It’s the kind of box that makes hosting feel effortless.
