What a whiff as it was delivered, what a pong as they were munched, what a cheer as we ate them. Truly delicious, truly stinky!

Outstanding Customer Service!
I ordered a cheese box as a gift for my Aunt, and in error put the wrong house number on the delivery details. Pong worked out with their courier what the problem was, found the correct address and rang me to let me know what had happened. They sent a new box to the correct address to make sure the gift my Aunt received was in perfect condition. Above and beyond the call of duty – thank you Pongs! The cheese was the way was superb – my Aunt has been telling all her friends about it ever since!

Where’s me review gone?!
I’m sure I submitted a review for this. In short, tye Epoisses was it’s usual perfect self. The Humming Bark was a brilliant, superb, magnificent work of genius that ranks in my top five. Lovely surprise. The Blaydon Blue was a letdown with no depth of flavour. But I really did not like the Finn. It was chalky, bland and just like a damned Brie! However, that was ten days ago. I’d left it out of the fridge and thought I’d give it another go. I’m so glad I did! It had metamorphosed into a brutal thug of a cheese. Magnificent! If it’d turned green I’d have thought it was the Hulk. As with all great cheeses, it came at me with malice, gave me a good few hard kicks in the goodies, a boot up the aris, a moment of blindness then demanded I obtain a second sample. Finn…..let it really develop. It’s an ugly duckling….from poxy Brie to a Frenchesque classic in ten days! 😀

I purchased these for my brother when he got Covid (he’s recovered).
Covid reduces your sense of smell and taste, but you don’t lose it entirely. These cheeses are stronger than the ‘rona.
If you are suffering from Covid or its after effects, try this cheese. The smell alone should scare off any other pathogens* (please note this is not medical advice always consult a doctor all liability is waived by reading this sentence)
