What to Look for When Choosing a Cheese Supplier

Reading Time: 4 Minutes

Choosing the right cheese supplier is crucial for ensuring your menu stands out and meets the diverse tastes of your patrons. A quality cheese supplier doesn't just provide cheese; they offer an experience journeying into an eye-opening world of flavours, textures, and traditions. When selecting a cheese supplier, consider the following key aspects to ensure you get the best for your business.


Variety In Cheese Types

Menus thrive on variety, and having a cheese supplier that can delight your eaters, no matter their preference, is a huge plus. A great supplier will be able to offer vivid experiences from blues, hards and softs to washed rinds, goat’s milk and sheep’s milk cheese. It means you can infuse your menu with versatility and cater to diverse dietary needs, including vegetarian options.

Proven Reliability

A top-notch wholesale cheese supplier will have past customers vouching for it. Having generally positive reviews to look at provides tangible proof that they can provide the same for you. Look for reviews on platforms like Loox and Google Reviews to provide tangible proof of their reliability and quality. These reviews are a testament to their ability to consistently meet customer expectations.


Commitment to Local Produce

Supporting local produce not only sustains regional economies but also ensures authenticity in flavour and cheese-making techniques. A dedication to local British cheeses is more environmentally sustainable and helps preserve the rich cultural heritage of cheese-making, as opposed to the generic supermarket varieties.

Proven Reliability

With major events often disrupting the calendar and putting a strain on ingredient supplies, having a reliable cheese delivery is vital. When seeking cheese for catering, look for a cheesemaker that can consistently deliver on time. Here at Rennet and Rind, we dispatch Mystery Cheese Boxes monthly to hundreds of subscribers, demonstrating our expertise in handling large, regular orders with ease.


Real Connection with Cheesemakers

Ensure the quality of the cheese you’re using by choosing a supplier with a deep understanding and appreciation of the produce. We regularly visit the cheesemakers at their farms to delve into the stories behind their cheese and learn how to mature it in our unique way. Our affineur, Perry Wakeman, a two-time Affineur of the Year winner in 2022 and 2023, brings his nuanced palette to our artisan cheese collection. Under his care, the cheese not only retains its original essence but is enhanced with a distinctive Rennet and Rind twist.
