Cuculo Cheese and Wine Club – subscribe here
The Club is currently closed to new subscribers. Please do check back or get in touch to find out when the next subscription window will be.
Club members receive the best cheese at optimum ripeness, just at the time of sending.
“My club selections reflect more than a decade of working with cheese. Cheese is a living thing, with its ups and downs. For example, animals’ diets and lifestyles change with the seasons: a rhythm which profoundly affects flavour and texture. My passion is to understand that and to pass on my expertise to my customers.”
If you are looking to enjoy the very best cheese in peak condition – then Cinzia’s selection is the answer.
Meanwhile, James chooses three great wines to match the cheeses from his specialist Italian portfolio.
The pack is accompanied with tasting notes and unique content like interviews with our favourite cheesemakers.
New subscriptions are billed on the 6th day of each month, and the pack is shipped or ready for collection on the third Wednesday.

Description
The Cuculo Cheese and Wine Club.
Cinzia began the the Cuculo Cheese and Wine Club because, over the years, she has become ever more aware of the seasonality of cheese (never better expressed than through the marvellous summer/winter life of Comte and Mont d’Or), and also the ways in which it evolves. That’s not always easy to communicate in the hustle and bustle of a busy shop. A shop where Quality is already a byword.
So, as a member of this Cheese and Wine Club, Cinzia selects for you the very best cheeses, at their optimum point of maturity.
Meanwhile, James chooses three bottles from his portfolio of single-estate Italian wines. He picks wines which complement the selection of cheeses. The Large box includes three full bottles, while the Standard includes three bottles of 250ml. These are poured under inert gas to preserve their flavours and freshness until you come to open them.
The final component is the literature, which combines practical tasting notes, to help you enjoy the selections, with unique content such as producer interviews and reviews.
It follows, that if you enjoy the bottle, why not book in for the Wine Tour? It’s a great way of getting to know the portfolio, to try some new wines, and to spend a thoroughly enjoyable hour.
All this makes this Club a unique blend of the two components of Cuculo’s activities. Namely, top quality cheese, cut and wrapped in house, in its optimum condition. Together with wine from prestigious Italian estates.

About the wine…
James maintains a high quality portfolio of (mostly) single-estate Italian wines. Club members receive three bottles along with tasting notes.
Not only are the wines chosen to pair with the cheeses, but it will be presented as part of the Wine Tour on the Saturday following your next delivery.
…and Wine Tour…
In your pack is an invitation to board the next Wine Tour. The timing is deliberate, because you can receive the Wine Tour wines in the same delivery as your Club box, meaning no extra delivery charge.
