The Maggie Beer cheeses included in our hampers are made fresh and have an approximate refrigerated 'best by' shelf life of 23 days. Cheese ripens and develops its characteristic flavours over time, and will be at peak flavour if enjoyed close to the 'best by' date.
Don't be concerned if the cheeses in your hamper are close to the best by date. This just means your cheese-lover can enjoy a full flavoured and mature cheese! The 'best before' date should be used only as a guide and is not the same as a 'use by' date. Cheese gets better with age!
If you want to wait and enjoy your cheese at a later date, use your best judgement. Generally, if a cheese looks good and smells good, we find that it tastes good too!
