Hafod Welsh Organic Cheddar
Hafod has all the characteristic of a true artisan cheese. Crafted on Bwlchwernen Fawr, a 130-acre organic farm situated on the west Welsh country side by Sam and Rachel Holden, the cheese is only made from their herd of 80 Ayrshire cows. In the dairy industry, their herd set as a small dairy, but it's well valued for the high quality of cheese produced.
With only 200kg of cheese produced a day, or 11 and 15 wheels, each wheels is matured for a minimum of 16 months.
Made on the traditional cheddar recipe, however Hafod has a sweet, buttery nutty taste from the Swiss breed of Ayrshire cows, and reflect the “terroir” of the pastures and soil from the farm.

Cornish Yarg (whole wheel)
This semi-hard cheese is based on a Caerphilly recipe, and it is wrapped in stinging edible nettles. The nettles are hand-picked from the local Cornish countryside when they are a bright vibrant green and frozen for use throughout the year to be wrapped in an elegant concentric circle, once the cheeses have been removed from their moulds and brined ready for maturation. The leaves protect the cheese, while allowing it to breathe and attract the specific moulds that encourage the beautiful almost lace-like appearance of the rind to develop. This in turn begins to break down the interior of the cheese, although the texture remains gently crumbly in nature.

Gran Kinara
A grana cheese made with non-animal (thistle) rennet! It takes considerable skill to produce a hard cheese using thistle rennet that will mature evenly for such a long time (12 months minimum) and create such a rich, deep flavour with a balanced sweet-savoury bite to finish. The texture is slightly softer than parmesan: smooth; even and moist – perfect for shaving into salads, serving with antipasti or grating into baked dishes. From Fattorie Fiandino – an artisan cheesery committed to sustainable farming practices and using 100% locally-sourced milk.
