FROM OUR DAIRY TO YOUR TABLE

Your cheese’s journey

The cheese you receive is the same one you’d find on our counter in Meta. Here’s what happens from the moment you order to the moment it reaches your table.

1

We pack it by hand

It doesn’t come from a warehouse: we take it from the dairy and pack it ourselves, order by order.

2

We seal it in the cold

BRT Fresh refrigerated courier where available, otherwise a sealed polystyrene box with ice.

3

It leaves early in the week

Monday to Wednesday, so it never sits in a depot over the weekend. You’ll get an email to track it.

4

It arrives in 24/48 hours

Open the parcel and put the cheeses straight in the fridge. You’ll find the rest below.

WHY ONLY EARLY IN THE WEEK

The enemy is the depot, not the road

A parcel sent on Thursday or Friday risks spending Saturday and Sunday in a courier’s warehouse. For a fresh cheese, those are the most dangerous hours of the journey.

That’s why orders placed from Thursday to Sunday leave the following Monday: you wait a few days longer, but the cheese arrives as it should.
