Hafod Cheddar

Hafod (pronounced Havod) is an unpasteurised Cheddar made by hand at Holden Farm Dairy on Bwlchwernen Fawr, Wales’ longest certified organic dairy farm.

Sharp but subtle, Hafod has a rich texture and a complex and earthy flavour – perfect for adding to Welsh rarebit or eating with a slice of apple. The Hafod recipe was developed by Sam and Rachel Holden in 2005 after they were inspired by a recipe from Dora Saker’s 1917 book ‘Practical Cheddar Cheese-making’. The 75 Ayrshire cows on the farm produce a milk that’s perfect for high quality cheesemaking due to its rich and buttery texture.
