Cornish Cheeses on line

Smorgers Delicatessen has been sourcing locally made cheese for our catering business since 1998. All are locally made as opposed to factory-produced, often characterless imitations seen in supermarkets. In addition to our internet business, we also have a real shop, the `Cornish Delicatessen` in the town of St Austell Our prices are competitive and we offer next day postage to most UK addresses. (See our attached price guide)

If you have any questions, the best way to communicate with us is via e-mail as our delicatessen can often be very busy.  Although you are shopping here for cheese we have many other products and catering services which we all run from our high street deli so please have a good look around our website!

Chatel (200gm rounds) - 200g rounds - Sounds very French but Ch'in Cornish is 'k' 'Katel' - cow's milk cheese. Camembert style brie.

Cornish Blue - Matured over a twelve week period this can vary in flavour from heavy to a sweet, light blue taste.

Cornish Nettle Yarg - Invented by Alan Gray in 1983. Hand wrapped in fine nettle leaves. Fresh, moist and slightly crumbly. Similar in texture to Caerphilly, Yarg is hand made with vegetarian rennet.

Cornish Wild Garlic Yarg - As above, but covered with wild garlic leaves. Garlic aroma but which is not over powering.

Menallack Farmhouse - Pressed for three days, turned daily for two weeks, then every four to five days the cheese is sold at a minimum of 6 weeks when it is fresh, quite crumbly and pleasantly sharp.

St Anthonys Goats Cheese - A soft, young chevre style cheese.

St Endellion Brie - Delicious 'ripening' Brie made with Cornish double cream and cows milk. Pasteurised and vegetarian. Awards include: British Cheese Awards 1998 - "Gold Medal". IFE Award 1999 - "Silver Medal".

Tala - A vegetarian cheese. According to its texture, it ranks among hard cheeses. Although firm, Tala melts in the mouth. It has the sweet, aromatic, burnt-caramel taste and suggestion of lanolin and aromatic rosemary that is so typical of sheep's milk.

Village Green - A full fat hard goat's cheese made with pasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet covered in green wax. Awards include: Royal Bath & West Show 1998.

Gevrik- baby Soft Goats Cheese - A soft, mould ripened goats milk cheese made in Cornwall. It has a clean and fresh taste with a wonderful nutty flavour. It develops a creamy melting texture as it matures. Made using 100% goats milk, "Gevrik" (meaning 'small goat' in Cornish) is a healthy and versatile cheese

Davidstowe Cheddar - Local Farmhouse cheese. Good all rounder.

Tesyn- Smoked Goats Cheese - a soft rinded, locally smoked Goats cheese.
