TESTIMONIALS ABOUT OUR BOXES
Claire M.
Amazing cheese. Loved the mystery box and have already purchased the January box to keep my cheese addiction going. Can’t wait as I bought a number of extras for my next cheese box. Loved also enjoying the Rennet and Rind cheeseboard at the Packhorse Inn in Moulton recently.
Jane L.
Baron Bigod - Brilliant as always
Hafod - Very good
Rollright - Least liked by us all, could have left it, sorry! Blander, funny taste..
Spenwood - very nice
Wensleydale & Truffle - Loved this
Young Buck - Liked even by "Non-blue" tasters
Belinda D.
As always our Christmas cheese treat did not disappoint!
The Baron Bigod is a must and we LOVE it!
Thank you Perry!
Maurice L.
Bloomin' delicious! The perfect Christmas treat.
Humphrey C.
The care and detail behind all of the work for these packages is wonderful! The selection of cheese was delicious, such great variety for all different types of cheese lovers! Also loved the cured sausage and chutney that came with it too! Love getting this box of treats for Christmas! Thanks so much Rennet and Rind!
Paul W.
Great cheeses, everyone enjoyed them, and arrived on time before Christmas, will definitely be com ing back. thank you.
Stephen D.
Honestly superb, bought as a present for a cheese lover and they were raving about how good it was (and having tried it I agree), brilliantly curated, excellent notes. Honestly superlative.
Sara G.
Perfect Christmas cheese board. This is the second year I have ordered and wasn’t disappointed.
Jo Q.
Great idea to share at Xmas. There was a great variety of cheeses to eat - all super tasty - and our favourite was the Brie which was delicious!
Victoria P.
This is the second year we have ordered Christmas cheese and it doesn’t disappoint
Wendy M.
Sublime! Absolutely sublime. Beyond my greatest expectations!
Claudia S.
Fabulous selection of cheeses! We loved them all, honestly one of the best online purchases. We are delighted to discover Rennet and Rind and grateful for the passion and dedication in creating and selecting wonderful cheeses.
Will definitely recommend and buy again.
Sharon I.
Packed beautifully, with care, shame about the delivery to be honest who put it on the floor in rain and it got soaking wet. The bag inside was unharmed so that was ok. I’m not a cheese fan as such this was a gift for my husband. With a mystery box you get a range of cheese, next time I will get specific cheeses so I can indulge too. Will get some more in the New Year.
Anne C.
An excellent extended family Christmas Eve experience cheese tasting with Perry’s video. We loved all the cheeses and it was great taking time to savour each one.
Karen B.
Delicious and arrived exactly as requested.
Fiona B.
My first experience of Rennet and Rind and it was really good. The team were extremely resposnsive to all my emails and the Xmas cheese selection was fantastic!!! We'll do it again next year for sure. Many thanks!
Cath T.
Loved the cheese - super selection and delicious. Apple butter was also a perfect accompaniment. I was a little disappointed at the charcuterie- for £20 I expected more than a single salami. Especially given the photographs. But I wouldn’t hesitate to buy cheese from you again
Kate B.
What a fantastic cheese box! A beautiful selection of cheeses which were thoroughly enjoyed by the family at Christmas. I really enjoyed reading through the leaflet which described the flavours etc. 3rd year ordering one, will definitely be getting one next year too!
Gary L.
Brilliant choice, was brought as a Xmas present. Amazing service and delivery.
Jasmin A.
Beautifully curated selection of British Cheeses; and loved the whole saucisson this year. The whole family looks forward to this as a Christmas treat, a new tradition has been started. See you next year!
Suzanne W.
This was a Christmas present for my Cheese loving partner, he says.........A great selection of cheeses, some of which I had never heard of before which is a great thing to discover. Baron Bigod and Rollright were particular favourites, Young Buck was a new one and delicious but they were all fantastic. Thank you
Paul P.
It'sgone - it didn't last long because it was so loverlee. Very nice cheese selection - we boosted the Christmas selection with half of the excellent "Duke". Delivered on time.
Marie D.
Loved the balance of flavours
Guests really enjoyed it
Rachel C.
This was our third case from Rennet and Rind. We chose the Christmas box with charcuterie and chutney, plus an extra baton bigod in case it didn’t feature in the selection.
Delivery, communication, packaging were all great as usual.
We opened the cheese for Christmas dinner and it did not disappoint. Wensleydale with truffle wow, Hafod from Wales wow, Baron Bigod incredible. Every cheese was really good and the Baron aside as that disappeared quickly, have all been eaten at the same rate. This box did four of us at Christmas dinner then 2 of us for dinner on two other nights.
We love this company, the quality of cheeses is consistently high and I love these are all British. Well done to the whole team. Looking forward to the 2023 offerings.
claire w.
fabulous selection, great fun had by all tasting the cheeses and drinking port!
Henrietta L.
I gave this to 2 different families - both were thrilled.
Thank you
Dixine D.
Such a great treat for Christmas. The cheeses were all really good, so it was difficult to choose our favourite. The wine suited the cheeses and was delicious! We enjoyed playing the games, made you really think about each cheese and its qualities. Would definitely order again
John M.
Very pleased with the Christmas selection of cheeses from Rennet & Rind, it was the first time I have made a purchase from them. I will certainly be back for more, a varied selection and they taste great.
Martin Q.
A lovely cheese experience!
Anna P.
A great selection of British cheese.
Miranda T.
I sent this fabulous cheese treat, as a gift to dar off family! I have no photo to show how splendid it was, but I can report that it was gladly received and the cheese adventure had, was much appreciated! I will, absolutely, be buying from Rennet and Rind again! Fabulous service and, so I am told, positively delicious! Think maybe I need to order from myself!
Margaret P.
It was a birthday (25th). Present and was greeted with great enthusiasm by my cheese-loving brother. I ‘m sure I will here more soon as he shares it with his son from France!
Emma H.
We brought this box as a Christmas gift for our friends and we and they were delighted with it.
Highly recommend x
Malcolm S.
First time we have ordered a mystery box for ourselves and thought lets try the Christmas one.
We have not been disappointed, all the cheeses are excellent and a good mixture to suit all tastes, the young buck has gone done very well as it is a smoother blue cheese than most you buy.
The Christmas meals have been complemented by such a good choice.
Raymond L.
These guys know about cheese! Always provide a fantastic collection of cheeses and the Christmas selection was no exception. Give them a try.
Highly recommended
Chris W.
Yet another quality mystery box from rennet and rind
Came on time as usual
All cheeses were outstanding
The three which stood for me were
Baron bigod
Spenwood and young buck
Thanks again
Chris
Daphne D.
Fucking brilliant
Stuart F.
Took a punt on this: and so glad I did! Excellent selection of cheese - differing types and tastes. All were amazing and a credit to the small artisan makers and R&R maturing. Highly recommended. Great tasting notes and info also included. Delivery was fast and packaging very good.
Aaron L.
Awesome Xmas cheese selection, as always. A highlight of our Xmas eve - thank you Perry and team.
Pauline I.
The cheese selection was good but I found the Wensley and Truff was dominated by the truffle which meant the creaminess of the Wensleydale was lost. I really struggled to get the cork out of the bottle of sparkling wine.
Barry A.
Lovely selection of Cheese. All with distinct flavours loved the Spenwood, Wensley and Truffle and New buck, not tried the Baron Bigod or Hafod but the smell/aroma is lovely.
Ed L.
Excellent cheese for Christmas or any time to be honest. Quality quality quality
Paul G.
Loved the cheese. All the family commented
Debbie T.
This wonderful hamper is an Xmas gift for my sister in law and her family. The selections look amazing.The delivery was so easy and we were kept informed when to expect it. Sister in law was so impressed and surprised by her Xmas gift delivery . Will definitely purchase from Rennet and Rind again.
Alison M.
So excited to receive what is a gift for a wonderful friend and neighbour. He and his wife were thrilled too. Will be the centre piece of their NY celebrations.
Thanks
Jerry C.
Fab u lush!
Tina S.
We are so impressed with the mystery cheese selection do far! We will definitely be ordering again and have already looked in to the selection for our next order
Alex C.
Excellent Christmas cheeseboard! Our request to have it delivered early wasn’t a problem for R&R. Great selection of cheeses and we enjoyed the quiz too. Everyone commented on how it made Christmas even more special. Would definitely do again next year!
Jon B.
A well chosen selection of great quality produce that filled our early Christmas dinner cheeseboard with flavour and surprises. Cheeses that we would not usually choose have broadened our horizons. We all had favourites, so having 6 cheeses gave something for everyone. Multiple copies of the tasting notes would improve the family experience. The charcuterie didn’t add much, being a little bland. The smoked apple preserve was a perfect addition but a little small. Cheeses arrived packed in a cold bag with an ice pack. Will definitely buy from them again. Highly recommended.
Jasmin A.
We ordered the Christmas Cheese Box for the second time this year; and once again have been very impressed. It is a superbly balanced selection of cheeses, and with added charcuterie is a real treat. Beautifully packaged too; the tasting notes, cheese quiz and other bits and pieces show the love and care put into this offering. Thank you.
Jane L.
We absolutely loved our Christmas Edition Mystery Cheese Box and had a great time savouring each one! Even those who weren't too keen on cheese raved about them and ate more!
It was difficult to choose a winner, although I seem to remember Baronet and Beauvale being top of the list with the Old Roan, Mayfield, Truffled Brie and Pitchfork closely following.
Thank you very much!
Anne P.
As always the cheeses were excellent especially the soft blue one (forgotten name)
\much better value than last year so a well done!!
As always packaging, delivery, flavour and variety brilliant
sara s.
As usual good selection of cheeses , very yummy.
Anna C.
Absolutely excellent. Great cheeses and very much enjoyed by the family.
Philip S.
I have simply run out of superlatives!
Ashley C.
Always a smashing selection, and immensely enjoyed by everyone.
Lucy J.
It’s like an extra Christmas present when you get these boxes as it a surprise! Love the details on the cards, make s a full cheese tasting session happen. Will continue to buy every year.
sonia c.
well it lasted 1 day !!! 1 whole day !!! tooo nice to stop eating !
Alison G.
A Rennet and Rind cheese box is becoming an essential part of our Christmas treats and traditions. Thank you!
Matt O.
Fantastic selection of cheeses and they never let you down! Made my Christmas Day complete.
mary h.
As always amazing quality and experience. The truffle cheese was to die for!
Humphrey C.
The PERFECT addition to Christmas! The cheese was delicious and even better with the crackers, cured meat and chutney! Thanks so much Rennet And Rind, would highly recommend!
Lesley H.
Fantastic Mystery box which we broke open before Christmas to celebrate our family reunion after a missed 2020 Christmas. All great cheeses as usual - and we enjoyed the quiz. Think the favourites were the Beauvale and the Baby Baronet. And the Old Roan was just right with a piece of Christmas cake. Happy New Year to all the team at Rennet & Rind. I look forward to more cheese adventures with you in 2022!
Patrick G.
The Cheese we received in our Christmas Cheese Box was Brilliant it was the most perfect present.
Karen Q.
Can’t remember how many mystery boxes we’ve had now, but this was as good as ever - a highlight of any celebration
Helen Y.
Loved the whole package but sad about the very short expiry dates
Anna P.
We loved the variety of cheeses in this box. It was great as a Christmas treat for a cheese loving family.
Gary A.
Fantastic selection of wonderful diverse cheeses, expertly selected to compliment the accompanying Madiera and Port to wash them down.
Clearly the collective experiences of the Senior Management, selecting quality cheese, strengthens year on year know doubts resulting from strong leadership and knowledge bestowed by Mr Cheesy Hulme himself.
Nicola F.
Best Christmas present ever - from me to me!
Maurice L.
Amazing selection of cheese for Christmas! Can't wait for the next special occasion to order some more!
It's such a great way to have cheese when you know you love cheese but don't have the knowledge.
David O.
Ordered online as a gift. No issues with order or delivery. Person who received the gift, loved it!! Will definitely use in future.
Christan T.
A great selection put together for this Xmas box. Good size pieces which made a lovely offering for my friends Xmas eve. If you’ve met the man behind this outfit you won’t be surprised. I’m a repeat customer and will be for some time
Ann L.
We ordered the mystery cheese box for our Boxing Day buffet. It did not disappoint. Each individual cheese was luscious and together they made a very appetising cheeseboard which disappeared very quickly.
hannah g.
Such a generous amount and each cheese was delicious
Janette B.
Great selection of fabulous cheeses , perfect for a family gathering…Thanks to Perry and the team
Hugh B.
We were recommended by a family member here in Australia to have a Christmas gift cheese package delivered to another family member in Uk. Order process was easy and delivery made on the day promised. Uk family enjoying the cheese and we will use your services again!
Thanks
Penny E.
Excellent!
Glenn P.
Fantastic cheese! The box contains cheese I would never buy myself as whilst I love cheese, I am not very good at choosing good quality cheese as i dont have the expert knowledge so I dont bother. This box takes all the risk out of buying cheese as it is chosen by cheese experts; and you can tell that by how good the cheese is! I will definitely be buying more of these boxes in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending these boxes to cheese connoisseur as you will not be disappointed with the cheeses you receive. A+++ and made my Christmas!
Michelle T.
We all love cheese but what made it a real experience was sharing the cheese whilst watching Perry's video. Everyone took more time to appreciate the cheese and discuss their favourites - ours was the truffle cheese!
Nicola P.
Bought as a gift for a cheese lover who was very pleased to receive it. Feedback so far is that everything has been delicious! Would recommend.
Lisa L.
Every cheese from the Xmas box was amazing, so tasty will definitely be ordering again
Jemma P.
We ordered a mystery box for Christmas and it was incredible! All of the varieties were delicious. The added quiz, cheese tasting card and video were a nice touch too. Another fantastic Cambridge independent company. Keep up the good work!
Peter F.
Absolutely delicious Christmas cheese. I normally prefer soft cheeses but the Mayfield hard cheese was amazing!!! All were fab though, thank you
Stewart N.
All gone now. A great selection which went down really well on Christmas Day. The notes were very helpful for those who hadn’t encountered these cheeses before.
Roxanne L.
Great selection and quality of cheeses, keep on going back for more
Peter S.
Gave it as a present to some big foodie friends and they haven’t stopped talking about it!
Loved it!!!
John P.
A prompt personal service with good quality cheese delivered in perfect condition.
Jess W.
Incredible selection of cheeses, the video, tasting notes and quiz made it even more fun!
My dad was so sceptical at first but by cheese two he said this is phenomenal!
Gareth R.
Never disappointed with the mystery cheese box and this Christmas was no exception. Loved all the choices and looking forward to further adventures in 2022.
Hattie W.
What a wonderful present for Christmas. This is waaay better than trying to do “grown up Christmas Stockings”, so the Mystery Cheese Box was our gift to each other. The cheeses were exceptional and the whole experience was original and educational as well as great fun!
Laurence R.
What a treat for Christmas - nice to explore the tastes of cheese from these isles. The quiz was a huge hit with the family too, nice touch.
Jane K.
We loved trying new British cheeses, and were really impressed with the quality and flavours. Beautifully presented, and would make a superb unusual gift through the post. A real treat.
Libby B.
Ordered the Christmas Mystery Box for my Husband for Christmas. It was difficult trying to hide it as it had your name all over the box!!! He really liked all the cheeses and it made a wonderful gift.
Paola D.
Very happy with our Christmas Cheese Box. Perfect collection of cheeses and charcuterie. 100% recommend
Jason B.
A real treat that lasted us through the Christmas period ... so much better than picking cheeses with the Christmas shop ! Also great to know that we are supporting British producers.
Jasmin A.
I ordered the Christmas Edition Mystery Cheese Box × 1 which arrived perfectly timed for Christmas and beautifully wrapped. The cheeses themselves were wonderful and a balanced selection. On the side - chutney, charcuterie and delicious crackers - what more could you ask for! Will buy again.
Charlotte M.
Fabulous selection and cheesy themed quiz, many thanks!
Lucy J.
First time we had ordered anything and we will certainly be using them again, the quality was excellent with great descriptions of the cheeses. Really enjoyed eating all of them!
Zoe D.
Probably the best thing about Christmas this year. Definitely going to make this a new Christmas Eve tradition. Great selection of cheese that all went well together. I really don't like any blue cheese, but the one we got was absolutely stunning with the chutney. There wasn't a cheese we didn't like and it was fun to eat along to the tasting notes on the video and score with the cards that came with. The meat was of a very high standard and a nice addition to the box. It was a complete little package and worth the money. Little hint- IF there's any left over (this was a 6 person box for 2 very greedy people after all) melt all the cheese up with a bit of whole grain mustard to make the best grilled cheese sarnis ever. It's a win win. Will order again.
RACHEL O.
This Christmas Mystery Cheese Board made my Christmas. I am a sucker for always buying the same sort of cheeses and loved the variety in this box, there wasn't one cheese I didn't love! Will definitely be doing this again.
