Baron Robert Pouget is one of the UK Cheese industry's enjoyably colourful characters. An artist and passionate foodie, his cheese journey started in 1983 when he opened a cheese shop with friend Gerry Stevens in Oxford's covered market. In 1995 Pouget produced his first cheese, Oxford Blue and later expanded to include Oxford Isis. Like an Epoisse style, this unique cheese is washed in honey mead and matured for a month. It is full flavoured, fruity and pungent with a spicy tang. 200g whole cheese.

Upon completion of your order, you will be asked to select a delivery date. We will always work to deliver to you on your date chosen but sometimes delays may occur. We will contact you if a change to the delivery date is required. At check-out, your delivery charge will be calculated.

All our products are packed in Cheese Cuisine boxes (unless you have ordered a giftbox or added a hamper to your order) with filling (bubble wrap where needed) and gel ice packs when required, to preserve the quality of fresh products.

Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

Wherever possible, we use environmentally friendly packaging, including recycled and compostable material. We are not big on paper waste; all the information on our products can be found on our website. However, if your order is a gift, select the option at check-out to include a personal message on a gift card with information letting the recipient know how they can find out about their products on our website.
