SKU: N/A Category:

Perl Las, meaning ‘Blue Pearl’ in Welsh, is a superb organic blue cheese made by Caws Cenarth in Carmarthenshire. This delicious, golden, veiny cheese has become one of the most famous and highly regarded cheeses in Wales. It is delicately salty and creamy with a lingering blue aftertaste. Pair with a glass of sauternes, or use it to create a blue cheese sauce – the perfect accompaniment to steak or pasta dishes.

Perl Las is available in either 200g mini truckles, or in larger 2.5kg truckles and 1.25kg half truckles. A 2.5kg truckle is around 19cm in diameter and 10cm in height.

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.

Very positive experiences every time

I have ordered online using the click and collect service, but I am also a regular visitor at the shop. Very positive experiences every time. Lovely cheeses generally, but I think the Perl Wen and Perl Las are some of the best I have ever tasted.
-Mrs Paris (Trustpilot 28.11.22)

In a word – awesome!

In a word - awesome! Fantastic selection of cheeses that arrived on the day I requested and still beautifully chilled. Loved the Perl Las the most out of all the great tasting cheeses. Will definitely be buying more. Thank you so much to The Welsh Cheese Company!
