Are you looking for a fantastic cheese gift, but not sure what the cheese lover in your life will enjoy most? Then, let us guide you through all of the cheese hamper options we have.
With plenty of advice about cheese pairings and a guide to all of our excellent cheese suppliers, we are sure you will find a cheese hamper that suits your needs perfectly - whatever the gifting occasion might be.
Cheese gift ideas
We have a wide range of cheese gift boxes, cheese hampers and cheese gift baskets in our range. The most important thing to us is that the cheese arrives in the finest condition, surviving delivery, and ready to be enjoyed on arrival ...as well as lasting a little longer, should it need to.
This is why we generally choose wax covered truckles of hard cheese that transport well. They pair perfectly with a range of wines, beers and ciders, plus taste great on their own.
Each truckle is specifically chosen to complement the rest of the contents of the cheese hamper, supplied by some of the best and most conscientious cheese makers in the UK.
Below, we are going to take you on a whistle-stop tour of our best cheese hampers, available to order today. We will introduce you to our range of UK cheese suppliers and the products that make all of these hampers fantastic gifts for cheese lovers.
Wine and cheese hampers
Perfect cheese gifts for the wine connoisseur
Buy this classic wine and cheese hamper
We have a wide range of wine and cheese gifts, so it was almost impossible to slim down our selection.
The first is our classic (and aptly named!), Classic Red Wine and Cheese Gift Box featuring a truckle of cheese from the multi-award winning, The Snowdonia Cheese Company.
Based in north Wales, they have an outstanding selection of cheeses, including both cheddars and Red Leicester.
In this hamper, the cheese lover in your life will be gifted two truckles of cheese: a Black Bomber, an extra mature cheddar, and also a Ruby Mist, also a mature cheddar but blended with white port and a hint of brandy to enhance the flavour. Both go really well with the full-bodied Argentinian Malbec.
Classic Port & Cheese Hamper
Our next recommendation for a wine and cheese hamper is something a little different. It is our Classic Port and Cheese Hamper. It also features the very special Ruby Mist cheddar, with the aromas of white port complementing the classic Ruby Port, supplied in this hamper.
From red wine, to fortified to white wine too, take a look at our wide range of Wine hampers, also featuring cheese for the perfect gift combination:

Cider and Cheese Hamper
For a classic cheese gift this summer
We have the one and only Cider and Cheese Hamper and we had to shout about it in this list, as we can introduce yet another great cheese maker and supplier, based in the UK.
Croome Cuisine is a family-run cheese company who have been making award-winning cheese for over 30 years in Whittington, Worcestershire.
To pair with two different types of vintage, craft cider, this hamper features a burgundy coated truckle of their Worcestershire Gold. This is an exceptionally rich and creamy extra mature cheddar and tastes simply divine with every refreshing mouthful of apple cider.
Check out our Cheese Lover's Hamper and our Cheese and Nibbles Gift (as featured in BBC Good Food).
Both of them are great value and the cheese is the main event, with no beer, wine or anything else "stealing the limelight".
For the committed turophile, this is all about enjoying and savouring some new cheeses and a few complementary additions, such as traditional crackers.
If you want to keep things simple, then these are our top cheese gift recommendations.
