cheesegeek Celebrates British Cheese Renaissance as Consumer Tastes Evolve Beyond Cheddar

As recent market research reveals a significant shift in British cheese preferences, with sales of international varieties outpacing traditional cheddar, cheesegeek is at the forefront of this gastronomic evolution, championing both artisan British cheese and helping consumers discover new cheese experiences.

Supporting British Artisan Cheesemakers

cheesegeek’s commitment to sourcing directly from British producers aligns perfectly with the trend of UK farmers diversifying into artisan cheese production. cheesegeek’s carefully curated selection showcases these producers, including their exclusive “Genesis” range developed in partnership with some of the finest cheesemakers in the UK, which received recognition at the World Cheese Awards 2024.

Making Cheese Discovery Accessible

As cheese continues to capture the public imagination, cheesegeek is democratizing access to exceptional cheese through innovative approaches to online retail, including:

• Expert cheese curation based on individual preferences
• Detailed tasting notes and pairing recommendations
• Climate-controlled packaging that ensures perfect condition upon delivery
• Subscription services that introduce customers to new cheeses each month
• Comprehensive educational content through their Cheese Blog

Sustainable Cheese Future

cheesegeek’s focus on sustainability aligns with growing consumer awareness of environmental and welfare concerns. The company supports regenerative farming practices, demands the highest welfare standards from producers, offers carbon offsetting on all orders, and ensures all packaging is recyclable.

As emerging research reveals new understandings of cheese’s nutritional complexity beyond simple categorizations of fat and salt content, cheesegeek continues to champion traditionally-made cheese that connects consumers not just with flavor, but with the rich cultural heritage of British cheesemaking.

Having recently launched a partnership with Selfridges, cheesegeek continues to expand its mission of making exceptional British cheese accessible to more consumers while supporting the artisan producers who are redefining British cheese for a new generation.
