Ordering with Curd & Cure

Pre-Order Products

Artisan cheese, ordered just for you.

A little forward planning

How do pre-order products (PO) work?

Some of our specialist artisan cheeses are available on a pre-order (PO) basis. Rather than holding these products in stock, we source them directly from our suppliers when you place an order.

Pre-order products are clearly marked on our website:

POPO – Available within 7 days
Usually 3–5 working days to our warehouse

Most pre-order products arrive within this time and are dispatched on your next scheduled delivery day once available.

Certain specialist cheeses, including French and Swiss imports, have longer lead times due to ordering schedules and international shipping. Please refer to the information below and to the individual product page for expected stock arrival dates and further ordering information.

From our French suppliers

How do French cheese pre-orders work?

Following the recent pause on French raw milk cheese imports due to Lumpy Skin Disease restrictions, we’re delighted to be sourcing French cheese again.

As we rebuild our import volumes, we are operating a fortnightly ordering cycle, consolidating customer pre-orders into one shipment every two weeks.

  1. Place your pre-order

    Place your pre-order online or via our Pre-Order Form. Browse our French cheese selection online and add your chosen products to your order.

  2. We consolidate orders

    We combine customer pre-orders into one shipment every two weeks, placing our consolidated order with our French suppliers on Friday mornings, every two weeks.

  3. Your cheese leaves France

    Our suppliers dispatch the cheese the following Friday, with stock typically arriving at our Staplehurst warehouse early the week after.

  4. We confirm your dispatch date

    You’ll receive an order confirmation when you place your pre-order. Our Customer Service team will then follow up to confirm your expected dispatch date.

Good to know

Your questions, answered

Why do we operate a pre-order system?

By combining customer orders into larger, less frequent shipments, we can reduce import and carriage costs, helping us offer you the best possible prices. This also allows us to source specialist cheeses without needing to hold large quantities of stock, reducing potential waste.

When do I need to place my order?

We place our French cheese orders every other Friday morning. We recommend ordering ahead of the next scheduled order date to secure your products for that shipment.

When will my cheese arrive?

Our suppliers dispatch orders from France the Friday after we place our consolidated order. Stock typically arrives at our warehouse early the following week. Our Customer Service team will confirm your expected dispatch date.

How do I know when the next shipment is arriving?

The next expected stock arrival date is displayed on the relevant product page, so you can plan your orders accordingly.

Will I receive an order confirmation?

Yes. You’ll receive an automatic confirmation when you place your order online, followed by an update from our Customer Service team confirming your expected dispatch date.
