The Ultimate has been a true labour of love representing decades of experimenting with cheese and wine pairings, combos that have proved just too good to keep to ourselves! 

This year once again we have worked alongside wine experts, oenologists and winemakers to put together a selection of wines that are just as spectacular as previous years, and that create pairings that really sing. 

The cheeses are right up there as cheesegeek Hall of Famers. As always, we’ve gone for a British focus, supporting our incredible local cheesemakers. It’s a real showcase of their work - some you may recognise, some you may not. What isn’t in doubt is their quality, more than a match for anything made across the world. 

The Classic includes 800g of cheese and 800ml of wine (that's just over a bottle. If you'd like to double up on the wine, opt for the Extra Wine Set.

 

  • 100g Rutland Red paired with 100ml AOP Bordeaux Blanc 2022
  • 100g Double Barrel paired with 100ml AOP Bourgogne 2020
  • 100g Gruyere paired with 100ml AOP Chablis 2021
  • 100g Perl Wen paired with 100ml AOP Cotes-de-Provence
  • 100g Swift paired with 100ml Crozes Hermitage 2020
  • 100g Quicke's Mature paired with 100ml AOP Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2018
  • 100g Washington paired with 100ml Chili - Valle de Colchagua Carmenere 2019
  • 100g Young Buck paired with 100ml AOP Jurancon

Each wine comes in a 100ml flacon equipped with RFID technology so you can find out more on the wines.

The box also comes with a booklet featuring tasting insights from our Founder, alongside general cheese and wine tasting tips, so you can enjoy your own at home tasting.

Extra Wine Set does what it says on the tin - takes your wine up from 800ml to 1600ml

Delivery is FREE and it comes in a climate control box (the only in the industry) that comes with a 48 hour freshness guarantee. If that wasn't enough, we also add an insert that will talk you through the info on the cheeses, tasting notes and a scorecard to help you make the very most of your festive cheesegeek delivery.

Delivery Information Close Icon for Delivery Drawer

During checkout, you will be able to select your preferred delivery date. This is great if you're buying as a gift or are organising your cheese in advance. The cheese will be packed in chilled, insulated boxes (that look great!) and will always be prepared on the day it is dispatched. A few other handy pointers:

- We use DHL nationwide and Packfleet within the M25

- Please use the delivery date you have selected as a guide rather than a guarantee.

- Your cheese will arrive in the best condition. It will have been prepared freshly and will not have been with our courier beyond our maximum of 48hrs

- You will receive delivery notifications for when your order is dispatched that mean you can track when it’s in transit

If you aren’t in for your delivery, this won’t matter. Our couriers will leave your cheese in you designated safe place in our climate controlled packaging.

We’re a small business working with an (incredible) perishable product. For advice on delivery or any cheesy questions, get in touch via the live chat or on hello@thecheesegeek.com

The Ultimate indulgence

"The Ultimate at Christmas was one of the best nights my dad have ever had at home! We ordered 2 and drank ALL OF the wines and tasted all of the cheeses and had a riot! May just order the one next time 😅 Could become a new Christmas tradition!"

The Perfect Pairings

Snowdrop x Pasqua Colori D`Italia Soave

For some it's cheese and wine. For us it's hints of pineapple and marzipan that sparked a sense of Pina Colada nostalgia.

More

Snowdrop is named in honour of Cynthia, the matriarch of the Davenport family, and her favourite flower which grows on the farm. Winner of Supreme Champion at the 2024 British Cheese Awards we love the extraordinary fluffy marshmallow texture of this new, fresh mould-ripened cheese.

Paired with Pasqua Colori D`Italia Soave  gave us a bouquet of yellow-fleshed fruits and white flowers; fresh and tangy!



Back

Yorkshire Pecorino Fresco x Sutton Hill Prestige Chardonnay

The Pecorino takes centre stage in this pairing, creating an almost spongy mouthfeel that enhances the overall sensory experience

More

Yorkshire Pecorino Fresco, matured for just thirty days, is the most 'traditionally made' Pecorino being made in the UK, by cheesemaker Mario Olianas, who moved to Leeds from Italy in 2001. This younger profile, using local milk, carries a distinct yoghurt flavour, sweet milkiness and complemented by an aroma of fresh sour cream and a hint of lemon. We love the texture, soft and yielding, with a thin, undulating rind, reflecting the young style often found in southern Italy's villages.

Paired with Sutton Hill Prestige Chardonnay - Full-bodied with aromas of melon, bananas, and vanilla; long finish


Back

Ragstone x La Bottière Touraine Sauvignon

A truly luxurious pairing with the creaminess of the goat's cheese log beautifully complementing the wine's oiliness.

More

Ragstone features a creamy, light texture and an ivory-white mould rind, reminiscent of the renowned French Sainte Maure. As it ages, it develops a drier, firmer texture with peppery notes and a more varied rind. We really love the blue/green spots that sometimes develop during autumn, giving it a wonderful sense of uniqueness, 'terroir' and seasonality - a trademark of true artisan cheese. 

Paired with La Bottière Touraine Sauvignon - powerful, lively, fresh and elegant, with floral and fruity notes

Back

Yorkshire Pecorino Fiore x Preussens Gloria Riesling Feinherb

This pairing boasts a lovely viscosity that coats the mouth, with each sip bringing a new wave of vibrant fruit and rich marzipan flavours that certainly left us wanting more

More

Fiore is the most aged cheese in the Yorkshire Pecorino range. Matured over 6 to 8 months, it develops a mild picante flavor with wonderful nutty notes. It boasts a well-rounded richness and features a white paste with a yellow rind, enhanced by olive oil rubbed on its surface. 

Preussens Gloria Riesling Feinherb - Disctinctive fruity aromas of ripe apples; juicy and perfectly balanced.

Back

Eastwood x Whispering Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

This rich and indulgent pairing delves into more moody territory, with the wine allowing the Eastwood to take the spotlight.

More

From our exclusive Genesis range of cheeses, Eastwood is a standout soft, Brie-style cheese that's perfect for any cheeseboard. An embodiment of many of the things that make Brie so popular, there is intense creaminess which is complemented by hints of wild garlic leaves, a damp earthiness, and a subtle citrus snap that unifies the flavor profile.

Whispering Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon: Medium-bodied and easy drinking, with red berries and a hint of spice

Back

Westcombe Cheddar x M.Chapoutier Luberon, la Ciboise Rouge

A cosy and satisfying pairing, with buttery, slightly burnt cheese on toast notes, we found the wine elevated the cheese to a whole new level of richness.

More

Westcombe is the Godfather of cheddars—farmy, tangy but knitted together by a nutty butteriness...this is strong complex cheddar at its best. Citrus notes dance throughout, punctuated by delightful pops of hazelnut and caramel. We love the tradition this cheese encapsulates, with a recipe that has remained unchanged for over 100 years, made from raw milk and clothbound for added sense of 'terroir'.

M.Chapoutier Luberon, la Ciboise Rouge: Complex and fine, with black fruit, liquorice, and silky tannins

Back

Truffelperle x Campo di Marzo Primitivo

While the wine leans towards acidity when sipped alone, the addition of Truffelperle brings a welcome softness, relaxing beautifully into the umami flavours of the pairing.

More

This Swiss alpine cheese celebrates the rich cultural exchange between the north of Italy and Switzerland, featuring the finest truffles harvested from the Piedmont region, and the freshest cow's milk. The creamy texture offers brothy, mushroomy, and herbaceous tones, accented by delightful earthy hints of Italian truffle.

Paired with Campo di Marzo Primitivo: full of Red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of tar; fruity, soft tannins

Back

Harrogate Blue x Chateau Grand Jauga Sauternes

Sweet and boozy, with poached pear and boiled sweet flavors that linger splendidly on the palate. What a finish.

More

With its beautiful golden hue and a minimum maturation of 10 weeks, we particularly love the creamy, moist, and rich flavours that perfectly balance the sharp spiciness of the blue veining. Harrogate Blue is an absolute staple for us and our customers, including Michelin Star chefs.

Matched with Chateau Grand Jauga Sauternes, a blend of honeysuckle, apricot, and marmalade; sweet, balanced. ageable

Birthday gift is being greatly enjoyed

This was a gift for my daughter-in-law's birthday and is being very much enjoyed by her and my son. Once their 18 month old daughter has been put to bed they look forward to sampling another cheese and accompanying wine.
