The ancient Celtic country of Wales, famous for its beauty and musical heritage, has produced high-quality cheese for hundreds of years. Taste and value were always the main criteria and this has never been more apparent than in Collier's Powerful Welsh Cheddar. Good value, nutrition, and an extraordinary taste define this cheddar. Collier's is made to one recipe, matured, and packed in Denbighshire. Throughout the 16 month maturation period, the cheese undergoes a thorough and highly demanding grading regime, which results in amazing consistency throughout the year.

Collier's Powerful Welsh Cheddar was developed from the mining traditions of South Wales. As a boy, the founder of the brand watched his grandfather's tough existence as a miner and noticed the camaraderie and strength of the community in which they lived.

Cheese had always been a staple part of the diet of miners, their wives appreciated the nutritious nature of cheese and the fact that it was simple to pack, with no waste. It was the ideal food to sustain them as they worked below ground for many hours at a time. Years later, the opportunity arose to create a cheese brand and childhood memories came flooding back.

Following intensive research, Collier's Powerful Welsh Cheddar was launched as a tribute to mining communities throughout Britain and a modern-day reflection of a distinctive taste.

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.
