If you enjoy good cheeses and want to find out more about them, Formaggi Ocello’s Cheese Club is the one for you. As a member of this unique cheese subscription, you receive four carefully selected cheeses, in peak condition, chosen for the season.
How does the cheese stay fresh during delivery?
To ensure freshness, most subscription services have limited their cheese deliveries to select areas, and also implement their own forms of process.
The Hamper Emporium, for example, states on its website that your hamper will be kept chilled in its refrigerated units until your chosen dispatch date.
It also lays out a guide for the best-before dates of its products: Hampers are typically best before three months, soft cheese before one week and hard cheeses before two months.
Gourmet Basket, meanwhile, states that its fresh cheese items may have a minimum shelf life of two weeks. It’s best to use your own judgement and check the expiry date on each delivery.
