Cheesegeek

What's in the box: A curated selection of cheeses, with optional wine, beer, charcuterie, chutneys and crackers chosen to pair with them.

Cheesegeek is a UK cheese delivery service built around a mystery cheesebox, so you trust its team to choose the cheeses rather than picking them yourself. The selection changes over time, and the current lineup includes a Stilton. Its real strength is the range of pairing extras you can add to an order. Wines are chosen with Graft Wines and include a Primitivo red and a South African Chenin Blanc, and there is also an English sparkling wine from Ridgeview. Charcuterie from Curing Rebels includes a salami, a coffee cured coppa and a paprika loin, and a trio of craft beers is available too. Smaller add-ons include Rambunctious chutneys such as Red Onion & Port, Cherry & Amaretto and Brandy & Pear, plus buttermilk and seeded sourdough crackers made by small producers in Cornwall. There is also a box called The Ultimate that pairs cheese with fine wine. The focus on British artisan producers and considered pairings makes it a good fit for anyone who wants a complete cheese board without hunting down each part. The trade off is control: with a mystery format you cannot rule out styles you dislike, such as strong blues. The main page does not clearly set out the base box price, size or delivery terms, so check those before ordering.
