Sainsbury’s Cheese selection celebrates Britain’s love for great dairy – from everyday cheddar to premium artisan cheeses sourced from across the UK and Europe. Whether you’re preparing a sandwich, a family meal, or a festive cheeseboard, Sainsbury’s offers something for every taste and budget.
Everyday Favourites
The Sainsbury’s Dairy aisle is packed with reliable family staples such as mild, mature and extra-mature cheddar, available both in blocks and convenient grated packs. You’ll also find British Red Leicester and Double Gloucester for colourful cheese platters, plus soft cheeses like cottage and cream cheese for spreading or cooking.
Speciality & Artisan Cheeses
Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range showcases award-winning cheeses made by skilled producers. Explore traditional British favourites like Cornish Cruncher, Somerset Brie and Wensleydale with cranberries, alongside continental varieties including French Camembert, Italian Parmesan and Spanish Manchego. Each is chosen for quality, origin and flavour character.
Cheese for Every Occasion
From weekday lunches to celebration boards, Sainsbury’s makes it easy to choose the right cheese. For cooking, try strong cheddar that melts perfectly in sauces or on baked dishes. Entertaining guests? Add a round of Brie, a crumbly Stilton and a wedge of mature cheddar for balance. And if you’re snacking, there are individually wrapped portions and handy cheese slices ideal for sandwiches and picnics.
Dairy-Free & Health-Conscious Options
For those avoiding dairy, Sainsbury’s Dairy-Free Cheese range offers delicious plant-based alternatives made with coconut oil and pea protein. You’ll also find lower-fat cheddar and reduced-salt cheese varieties, giving health-minded shoppers more choice without sacrificing flavour.
Responsible Sourcing & Sustainability
Sainsbury’s works closely with British dairy farmers to maintain high animal-welfare standards and reduce its carbon footprint. Packaging is increasingly recyclable, and many lines now use clear labelling to help customers make sustainable choices. Supporting British agriculture remains at the heart of Sainsbury’s dairy supply chain.
