Located in: Cheese, Wales

Caerphilly is an original Welsh cheese that is quite similar to English Wensleydale and Lancashire. Caerphilly differentiates itself by having a higher moisture content than these other two, giving it a more buttery, less crumbly personality. A young, white, fresh-tasting cheese, Caerphilly has a pleasant, creamy flavor that goes well with a crisp Chardonnay.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole 9 lb. form of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.

Caerphilly is my favorite cheese & I have ordered it from IGourmet several times, but this batch didn't seem as good. It lacks overall flavor & is bitter. Maybe not as fresh as previously.
