Tel 01495 793123 or mobile 07886388573
All our cheeses are handmade by our family and are free from any artificial preservatives or colourings. They are all suitable for Vegetarians and are coloured in a bright wax coating to give a long natural shelf life of 6 months if they are stored correctly between +0 to +5 *C.
Our famous 1868 cheddar is aged below ground at the bottom of the cellars at The Lion Hotel, Home of the Chartist Riots in 1861. Once every 2 weeks Gerry does a cheese swap. He takes the cheeses to the Lion Hotel, ready for maturing. The Lion Hotel is a lovely place to stay and to enjoy some of the finest meals.
We produce very distinctive cheddars, many are flavoured with local alcohols which act as our natural preservatives and include; Celtic Spirit whisky, Black Mountain Liqueur, Brains SA & Reverend James ale and Taffy Apple cider. Our Taffy Apple cheese won the International Cheese Awards Gold Medal 2018.
Our cheddars have scenes of Blaenafon’s industrial heritage on the labels.
Also, in the product range are gift packs, four hamper choices and Four Cheesy Tipple choices which consist of a cheddar and their matching bottle of real ale or cider in a gift pack.
