Thelma Adams started making her family’s traditional recipe Caws Cenarth Caerffili commercially in 1987, along with other local recipes such as Lancych and Llain.
Thelma’s passion and skills soon saw her producing some of the finest organic cheeses in the UK and receiving such accolades as one of Rick Steins Super Hero’s in the BBC ‘Guide to the Food Heroes of Britain’.
The Caerphilly cheese sold at the Visit Caerphilly Centre is as traditional as the original Welsh farmhouse recipes of years gone by. All Caws Cenarth cheese is handmade – the curds hand cut, then hand moulded, hand salted and washed, hand turned, hand packed and labelled.
The traditional artisan cheese making skills passed down through the generations of the Adams family in West Wales have ensured the survival of one of Britain’s well loved regional cheeses.
All the cheeses are made at the family farm in Glyneithinog. Cwmcych, using organic pasturised milk, which is suitable for vegetarians.
