Thelmas Traditional Caerffili

Named after the founder of Caws Cenarth, Thelma Adams who began producing this cheese in the 1980’s from a much older family recipe.

This is a crumbly cow’s milk cheese with a mild, fresh and creamy with a lemony flavour and a hint of underlying sea salt. Its natural mould rind is mottled grey, white in colour and itself has an earthy, mineral flavour. Caerffili is a young fresh cheese and is best enjoyed young and fresh to appreciate the creamy, lemony flavours. A classic regional cheese to place on the cheese board, it’s a versatile cheese that makes a superb soufflé and can be used in many kitchen recipes.
Traditionally hand crafted today, it is said to be as good as that Thelma Adams made from an old family recipe all those years ago.
