Description

"Please note, for Christmas 2026 we’ve improved our waxing technique to make the cheese easier to access." - Ben

Our Cornish Blue Pot is filled with our award-winning Cornish Blue, a mild and creamy blue cheese designed to be enjoyed young. With its dense texture, buttery richness and gentle sweetness, it offers a softer, more delicate flavour than the salty tang traditionally associated with blue cheese. Each pot contains approx. 200g of cheese.

Beautifully presented in our distinctive reusable pot, it makes a thoughtful gift or a lovely addition to a cheeseboard. Once the cheese has been enjoyed, the reusable pot makes a lovely keepsake too.

Cornish Blue - cornishblue-175 - Cheese - The Cornish Cheese Co

Cornish Blue Pot

A sweet, creamy, full-flavoured and veined blue cheese.

Cornish Blue was the very first cheese we created. Once
Philip decided to diversify into cheesemaking he noticed there wasn't a blue cheese in the UK that fitted the flavour profile for those that found traditional English blue cheeses such as Stilton too strong and saw a perfect opportunity to introduce a much smoother creamier alternative.

"For over 25 years, we’ve been making and maturing our cheeses by hand, taking the time to refine each one until it’s exactly as it should be." - Philip Stansfield, Cheesemaker

The flavour is brighter than the well known blue cheese and yet stronger.

The best blue cheese ever … spreads easy and texture & taste is awesome

Wax nightmare

It will be out of date by the time I get the wax off

Disappointed

Thankfully I bought this cheese just because I liked the pot and is was in the reduced section in Tesco.

I found the thick wax was really difficult to dig out. I ended up pouring boiling water on it!

Once I managed to get to the cheese I was really disappointed with the taste.

Glad I didn't pay full price, still an expensive little pot though!

Dire

Spent ten mins trying to chisel through the wax to get through to cheese that is now tainted with broken wax. Avoid.

Wax issues

I couldn't actually get through the thick hard wax. I tried everything. My husband took over and eventually got to the cheese. The cheese is delicious however. I bought one for my mum and we took the wax off before we gave it to her!

Dissapointing

This was given to me as a Christmas gift and what a disappointment. The wax top was about an inch thick and very difficult to remove. Also there was a wax coating all around the inside of the jar. Once removed I was conscience of having wax mixed up with the cheese. The cheese tasted of soap and there was no blue veining which I had expected to see. All in all a complete waste of money and I will not be repeating the experience. I should be asking for a refund.

Nice pot, not very nice cheese! Thought i was ordering something special rhem saw it cheaper in Tesco.

Dreadful

What has gone wrong here. Expensive for a start. After struggling to remove the inch thick wax layer to find the 'cheese' its off or something. Never seen, smelt or tasted a blue cheese that bad.

Average

A fairly inoffensive blue cheese, if you don't factor in the high price. Much better options available in the "different blue" category.

Lovely item

Very good cheese in beautiful pot. Arrived on date selected, beautifully wrapped . Would recommend this for a gift.

Great service

I had an issue with the item when arrived on-time but excellent customer service resolved it very quickly and a replacement arrived within a couple of days.

Honest and genuine

Family excited to taste the costly cheese but after broken knives and near personal accident there was only disappointment!
Quickly shown the Bin.
Pretty shocked.

Disaster on the cheese board

Thick layer of wax at least 1 inch on top and a layer round the edges. So hard to remove so cheese was thrown away. Poor value even if we had been to cleanly remove wax.

Arrived much too late!

Cheese pot

My son loved it it was a gift

Blue

Excellent presentation and Taste

Fabulous

This exquisite cheese arrived exactly as we asked… In a beautiful ceramic pot… The perfect gift

I really had wanted to fizz about this but I can't.

Sorry, I had ordered this with hope and optimism wanting to love the product when it arrived.
Faultless ordering and delivery exactly as promised.
Smart packaging reflected the crisp marketing but..
The cheese itself was so disappointing. Bland and uninspiring with the slight metallic taste you get when a blue cheese wants you to know that it's finished.
I'm sorry, perhaps it's me but I was left feeling underwhelmed and will not be coming back for seconds.

Delicious

It’s absolutely delicious.Didn’t last long.

The perfect present

Fantastic product, beautifully presented and well packaged with prompt post. Highly recommend

Amazing

Ordered my Cornish blue cheese pots a couple of months ago, my delivery date 16/12.
Arrived on the dot, am so pleased!!!
Well done

Cornish cheese

I ordered this for a present and was not disappointed at all… I will be ordering myself one now!!! The pot is beautiful , it’s packed inside a box filled with shredded card. It was then packed inside another box and freeze bags. I am very impressed with the overall experience and customer service from the Cornish cheese company and will be ordering lots more from them.

So sweet

I haven’t tasted the cheese yet as it’s for the ‘big day’! It arrived well packaged with a small cool bag to keep it chilled and the pot matches my Cornish blue crockery beautifully. Very happy with my purchase and how well it was delivered.

Great cheese

Great quality and the pot is fabulous

Lovely gift

I bought this for my daughter and son in law. He being a fervent Cornishman will not be disappointed with this gift. Their crockery is all blue Cornishware and they love this cheese. Perfect!

Great for gifting

Being a potter I appreciate the container alone. The cheese inside is a welcomed bonus according to my son.
Good quantity and quality. Well worth £20!
Delivered super quickly and packaged well.

Pot is lovely! Cheese not tried yet but confident it will be fab!

Cornish Blue

Excellent online service,Absolutely spot on delivery to my son in law in Northampton, arrived perfectly on time thank you.will order again in the future.

Lovely pot - but disapointed at the very small size?!!!! (It’s a christmas gift so have not yet tasted it!)

It’s ok

The wax top took two days to get off and the cheese is hard from the fridge so not easy to eat. Given the faff to get to it I was hoping the cheese would blow me away, but it didn’t. Ultimately, the pit is nicer than the cheese.
