We were both delighted and honoured that Waitrose chose to feature Sussex Charmer so strongly in their amazing Christmas TV advert with Kiera Knightley and Joe Wilkinson. It was the cheese that they fell in love with over the Waitrose Deli counter.

Sussex Charmer is the marriage of two very separate cheese production methods, each one ancient and prestigious in its own right.

Combining the creaminess of a mature farmhouse cheddar with the zing of an Italian Style Hard Cheese, this versatile cheese is a stunning addition to the cheese board. In 2008, it won Best New Dairy Product at the largest cheese awards in the world, hosted in Nantwich, Cheshire. It has since gone on to win a further 12 Golds at these International Cheese and Dairy Awards and claiming Best Catering Cheese in Show in 2014 and 2023.

In 2017, it was awarded Best British Cheddar at the prestigious Quality Food Awards.

Sussex Charmer has the perfect taste credentials to complement fruit of any description. Its long taste profile in the kitchen soon becomes a chef’s best friend. Endowed with great meltability, it adds a sublimely creamy taste when grated over pasta. Our famous signature dish ‘Charmer on Toast’ has no rivals, as many will vouch!

Storage: Eat within three weeks of opening, wrap in grease-proof paper, place in air tight container in the fridge.

Suitable for vegetarians and home freezing.

Available in 100g, 200g, 500g, 800g and 1kg grated.

  1. Richard Lay (verified owner) –

    The best cheese on the market.

  2. Paul Tunnell (verified owner) –

    Lovely strong cheddar, split into 3 packs

  3. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Great service, fast delivery excellent tasting cheese

  4. Catherine Gibson-Poole (verified owner) –

    A full bodied cheese, with lots of flavour

  5. Julie (verified owner) –

    A delicious cheese, even for those of us who are not as keen on mature cheddar as others! I ordered it for my husband but it ended up being shared equally, much to his dismay.

  6. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Delicious!

  7. Jenny Morbey (verified owner) –

    Excellent cheese, good flavour and melts beautifully. Will definitely order again.

  8. Debbie C. (verified owner) –

    Your cheddar reminds me of how cheddar used to taste, so good.

    The delivery is quick with regular updates from the courier company.

    Another important factor is the excellent ‘sell by’ date. Every order I have received is good for at least 3 months or more.

  9. Jim J. (verified owner) –

    Ok

  21. Susan (verified owner) –

    I cannot fault either the order process or the delivery process. I certainly cannot fault the cheese. A 5 star experience all round. Thank you for your excellent service.

  22. Freddy Thompson –

  27. Wendy (verified owner) –

    My husband lives this – often buy this.

  28. Clare Russell (verified owner) –

    The most delicious cheese I’ve tasted in a very long time. Needless to say it’s all gone so will definitely buy more. It’s rich and creamy. Actually tastes like cheese should and we should all support independent farmers as much as possible. Keep up the good work

  29. Caroline Bailey (verified owner) –

    Makes the best cheese on toast ever!

  30. Peter Crutch (verified owner) –

    A gift for my Father in his 56th wedding anniversary. He loves a cheese board and a good friend of mine recommended ordering this cheese from you. It went down an absolute treat, he loved it.

    Delivery was perfect and on time.

    Thank you.

  31. Lindsay –

    Utterly delicious on its own, on pasta, and grilled *chefs kiss* Gr8 texture and superlative taste. Try it ASAP!

  32. Darren Grada (verified owner) –

    My favourite cheese. No competition

  33. Graham (verified owner) –

    It’s definitely my favourite cheese with a great taste and recommend using this for cheese on toast.

  34. James S. (verified owner) –

    I appreciate it was a warm day, but the ice packs had melted and the cheese arrived very sweaty.

  35. Fay B –

    Lovely tasty cheese. You only need a little slice it’s so full of flavour.

  36. Elizabeth M –

    Our family favourite for everyday hard cheese. Delicious in sarnies, on its own, on a cheeseboard or for cooking. My daughter and I discovered it years ago at Hampton Court Flower Show and still talk fondly of the smell of the toasties being served. I am so pleased I can order it online directly. My husband also found it at our local M&S the other day.

  37. Susan C –

    Such delicious cheese (a wonderful cross between vintage cheddar and Parmesan I always think) and we are so enjoying the Charmer Blue now too! Thanks so much for the swift and efficient delivery too. Excellent.

  38. Sally W –

    Bought this Sussex Charmer cheese mail order and was happy with the delivery arrangements. The cheese is moreish and was a lovely addition to a risotto in place of Parmesan. Not as potent but lovely and creamy.

  39. Ikuo S –

    The quality of your product remains high. Unfortunately, two out of three cheeses were broken in two when I received them… This, I must say, was a bit disappointing as I chose to purchase undamaged products for me to give them out to my friends from abroad as a present…

  40. Richard G –

    A very flavoursome mature hard cheese, consistency like cheddar but with its own substantially different nose and taste.

  41. Elizabeth M –

    The cheese is great. Sadly, APC always delivers a day late to us.

  42. Nigel S –

    Lovely products and an efficient service. Thank you.

  43. Elizabeth L –

    Excellent service. Prompt delivery. Perfect packaging. Contents: my husband’s favourite cheese. What more could you wish for? Will definitely order again.

  44. Shelagh F –

    Lovely cheese as always. Delivery was good.

  45. Robert B –

    Perfect cheese but was not happy with the fact that the cheese was at the end of the garden and on the floor with no note of where it was. Lucky my wife came across it. So the 5-star rating was for the cheese, 1 star for poor delivery.

  46. Mary Janet P –

    BEST CHEESE EVER.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Very organised delivery. Very well packaged. Excellent 5 STAR customer service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  47. Susanne W –

    A great local cheese, very tasty and excellent value for money.

  48. Jill B –

    Helpful and efficient service.

  49. CAROL T –

    Tastiest cheese I have eaten in a very long time.

  50. Jane B –

    Online purchase first rate. Beautifully wrapped and neighbours were thrilled to get a whole rather than the small lump we gave them when we were first introduced to both the cheese and the cafe.

  51. Patricia H –

    Delicious with chutney & tomatoes.

  52. Helen H –

    I ordered three blocks of the lovely Sussex Charmer. It was packaged in an insulated bag with a clever ice pack and delivered overnight, ensuring the cheese was still cool when it arrived. The cheese is nice too! A bit more piquant than a plain cheddar. It makes fab cheese on toast and I’m looking forward to making a scrumptious Sussex Smokie (Google it. Amazing recipe).

  53. Jean B –

    I love this cheese – and I’ve bought it as a gift and it always goes down well, thank you.

  54. Susanne W –

    Delicious and tasty.

  55. Jane M –

    Splendid cheese. Great flavour.

  56. Paul H –

    Sussex Charmer is one of the best cheddar cheeses I’ve eaten.

  57. Catherine H –

    Delicious cheese, thank you.

  58. James J –

  65. James J –

    Usual good service. Glad butter is back in stock

  66. Cherril b –

    The original date had to be changed as you did not want send food out the very hot days last month, you sent a message to inform us. The items arrived on the new date given and the cheese as good as always. Thank you.

  67. Tony S –

    We took a couple from Devon to the Milk Churn and they thoroughly enjoyed their cheese on toasts. They forgot to buy some cheese to take home, so I sent 3 lots of the Sussex Charmer to them down to Budleigh Salterton. They were thrilled! I have been buying it at John Murray’s butchers in Loxwood. Thanks.

  68. Mary Janet P –
