Our waxed truckles are designed for maximum shelf life and quality. Once received, they can be frozen for up to six months to extend their freshness.

After opening, we recommend keeping the cheese well-wrapped and stored in an airtight container. For the best taste and quality, please consume within 3 days of opening.

If you experience any issues with your order, please email us at en*******@*****************co.uk with your order number and a description of the problem. For us to assist you efficiently, photographic evidence of the issue is required.

If the issue is caused by an incorrect delivery address or the recipient not being available at the time of delivery, the customer will be responsible for the cost of a re-order.

How do you open waxed cheese truckle?

There are several ways to open a waxed cheese, but we recommend cutting off the top of the truckle. From there, you can either scoop out the cheese or peel the wax from the sides for a fully “naked” cheese experience.

Can you consume the wax?

While the wax we use is food-grade and not toxic, we recommend not consuming it. Eating a significant amount of wax can be harmful, so please remove it before enjoying the cheese.

Does cheese in wax go bad?

All of our cheeses are wrapped in wax to help extend their shelf life. Each cheese comes with a best before date, but it is still safe to consume after this date.

For longer storage, you can also freeze our cheese for up to six months.
