Details

Originally produced on their farm in South Wales, raw milk curds are worked ‘Caerphilly’ by hand (we're sorry) to produce the incredibly complex and delicious Gorwydd Caerphilly.

At Trethowan's Dairy, now based on a farm in Somerset, mature their cheese for longer to achieve a sharp and lactic finish. Think velvety rind that breaks down to a young and crumbly core to give off mushroom and earthy vibes. cheesegeek rating - Epic!
