Caerphilly
This is the only traditional cheese associated with Wales. From the 1800’s to pre-World War I, it was served as a favourite among Welsh miners. Caerphilly has a fresh buttery, herbaceous sweetness with a hint of lemon. With age it becomes softer and creamier and develops a rind that is mottled with a magnificent thick gray coat.
How to Enjoy:
The mild lemony flavour of Caerphilly works very well in savoury dishes and is a key ingredient in the famous Welsh Rarebit. It is equally delicious melted on crusty bread. Typically served with beer or white wine.
