Perl Wen

Perl Wen is one of Wales best loved soft cheeses, it’s a glorious and unique cross between a traditional Brie and a Caerffili.

Caws Cenarth farmhouse Caerffili recipe was a starting point for Perl Wen which gives its soft centre a fresh citrus flavour with a hint of sea salt. As the cheese ripens, the cheese beneath the white rind becomes creamy and buttery in texture. Should you prefer your soft cheeses runny, rather than with a young chalky texture, eat your Perl Wen close to its Best Before Date.

Ideal in a summer baguette or melted in a Panini with cured ham or bacon. Bake in pastry parcel with a little of your favourite chutney, and very moreish on a cheese board.
