About Caerphilly cheese

Caerphilly is a traditional Welsh cow’s-milk cheese, usually made as a round wheel. Its interior is pale, moist, and crumbly, with a thin rind; younger examples tend to be mild and fresh-tasting, while maturation can bring a firmer texture and more developed savoury flavour. It is commonly served in slices or crumbled at the table.

The cheese may be sold young or matured, and modern examples can vary in texture and production. It is also used in cooking, though its moisture and crumbly body distinguish it from harder melting cheeses. Nutrition comparisons should take account of age, moisture, and variation in milk and cheesemaking.
