Allergens & Information

FAQ & Allergens

Allergen information for everything we sell, plus answers to the questions we get asked most often.

Food Safety

Allergen Information

We take allergens seriously. If you have an allergy or intolerance, please tell us before you buy and we will help you find something safe to eat.

Written allergen information is available for all products we sell. Ask at the counter, or email info@rindsandvines.com before you visit.

Milk

All of our cheeses contain milk. This applies to every product on the cheese counter, including soft, semi-soft, hard, and blue varieties. There are no dairy-free cheeses in our range.

Please be aware that our counter handles multiple cheeses simultaneously. Cross-contamination between varieties cannot be ruled out.

The 14 Major Allergens

Under UK food law, the following 14 allergens must be declared when present in food. Some of our products contain or may contain one or more of these. Always ask us if you are unsure.

Celery
Cereals containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats)
Crustaceans
Eggs
Fish
Lupin
Milk (present in all cheese)
Molluscs
Mustard
Peanuts
Sesame
Soybeans
Sulphur dioxide and sulphites (present in most wines)
Tree nuts

Wine & Sulphites

All wine contains naturally occurring sulphites. Most wines also have sulphites added as a preservative. While we stock many low-sulphite and zero-addition natural wines, no wine we sell can be guaranteed sulphite-free.

If you have a sulphite sensitivity, please ask us and we will point you towards the bottles in our range with the lowest addition levels.

Subscriptions

Cheese Club & Allergens

Every Cheese Club box contains a selection of cheeses chosen by our cheesemongers. The contents vary from month to month. Each box includes a card listing the cheeses included, along with allergen information for each one.

All cheeses in the Cheese Club contain milk. Some cheeses may also contain egg (certain washed-rind varieties use egg-based washes) or other allergens depending on the selection that month.

If you have a specific allergen concern that affects whether you can safely subscribe, email us before subscribing at info@rindsandvines.com and we will advise you honestly.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Do you sell online?

The Cheese Club is our subscription box, available for home delivery across the UK. We do not currently sell individual cheeses or wine online. Everything else is available in the shop at 74 Brockley Rise.

Can I put together a cheese board for a party?

Yes. Come in and tell us how many people, what the occasion is, and your rough budget. We will put together a selection and cut it to order. For larger events and weddings, see our Wedding & Celebration Cakes page or get in touch.

Do you do wholesale?

We supply a small number of restaurants, wine bars, and delis. See our Wholesale page for more detail, or email info@rindsandvines.com.

Where do your cheeses come from?

Mostly British farmhouse cheeses and European classics. Everything we stock is bought from producers we know. We are happy to tell you about any cheese on the counter: the farm, the maker, the milk, the process.
