Cheese Temperature During Transit
Cheese shipped or received in-store should feel cool to the touch upon arrival. Due to travel time and normal temperature fluctuations during shipping, cheese may not arrive completely cold. This is expected and does not indicate a quality or safety issue.
Our cheeses are packed carefully with ice packs and fluff in an insulated liner. Once received, we recommend refrigerating your cheese promptly. All of our packaging materials are street recyclable and the ice packs are reusable.
Local Hand Delivery
We offer hand delivery with porch drop-off for customers located in the area surrounding the restaurant in North Beach.
Deliveries are made in the afternoon. You will receive an email the day of delivery with details. Should you want to request a specific delivery date, do call or email us to let us know.
