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!

Ambervale - Delicate flavoured semi-hard cow's cheese covered in orange wax. Especially popular with children.

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.

Cornish Organic Brie - Using organic pasteurised milk, suitable for vegetarians.

Cornish Tiskey Meadow - A semi hard, hand made pasteurised cheese made with full-fat cow?s milk. A naturally mould ripened cheese. Rich, creamy flavour with a characteristic clean tang. Sun dried tomatoes, basil, oregano and a hint of garlic without masking the true character of the cheese.
