Category:

Caws Cryf (meaning ‘strong cheese’) is an extra-mature Cheddar made by Caws Cenarth in Carmarthenshire. This wax-covered mini truckle has an intense, rich flavour and the creaminess typical of Caws Cenarth cheeses. Add this to a cheeseboard and enjoy with a slice of apple or a glass of cider for the perfect flavour combination.

Caws Cenarth have been making cheese on their farm in the  valley of the river Cych in West Wales for several generations. Thelma and Gwynfor Adams spearheaded the renaissance in Welsh cheesemaking in the 1980s, and the business is now run by their son Carwyn. Cenarth now make a diverse range of superb organic cheeses, many of which have won multiple awards.

MEET THE MAKER

Caws Cenarth

The lush valley of the river Cych is home to Caws Cenarth, one of Wales’ most renowned cheesemakers. Set up by Gwynfor and Thelma Adams in 1987, the business draws on a six-generation family tradition of cheesemaking. Their son Carwyn runs the business these days.

Caws Cenarth is a true example of farm diversification: Thelma started making cheese in response to the milk quotas of the 1980s, and the Adams family soon found themselves leading a renaissance in Welsh cheesemaking. Today Caws Cenarth is the longest established producer of Welsh Farmhouse Caerffili (also known as Caerphilly), probably Wales’ best known cheese. Besides the traditional crumbly, lightly lemony variety, other versions made on site include Smoked and Garlic & Herb Caerffilis. Carwyn has also developed new cheeses, including the Brie-like Perl Wen and a creamy blue, Perl Las – both beloved by chefs in Wales. Golden Cenarth, a washed-rind cheese with a gorgeously smooth texture, is a past winner of the Supreme Champion accolade at the British Cheese Awards.

 

What our customers are saying...

Great cheeses…as usual

I've not had any Welsh cheese offerings for a while and was beginning to really miss it. I've just caught up with my latest rescue package. You really can't get stuff of this quality in the supermarkets! At the weekend it was the kick of a vintage Red Leicester, while today it was creamy slices of the delicious Perl Las that I was tucking into. If you love cheese, you'll love the Welsh Cheese Company.

Excellent cheese and excellent service!

I love Welsh Cheese and the Welsh Cheese Company! If you like soft cheese I recommend Perl Las and Golden Cenarth especially - these also have the advantages of being organic and entirely vegetarian.

Black Bomber, Cheese worth ordering online

I tasted Black Bomber at the Vine Tree restaurant near Crickhowell. I liked it so much I asked the waitress what it was and then ordered some from the Welsh Cheese Co. However I do not normally look for cheese on the internet. It arrived very promptly and packaged superbly in a special box with a cooling block in there. The cheese was in perfect condition and I am now enjoying Black Bomber in the comfort of my home! I would invite anyone who likes cheese to do the same. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic, delivered on time and good value

Ordered the Gower cheese wedding cake for my son’s wedding. The service we’ve received has been amazing and the cheeses are outstanding. Have ordered several gift boxes in the past and they have all been fantastic, delivered on time and good value for money.
