Located in: Cheese, Wales

The Welsh are continuing to create new and exciting cheeses, showing the world that there is more to them than the simply delicious Caerphilly. Harlech is a zesty, smooth cheese named after Harlech Castle in Northern Wales. They chose one of their most picturesque treasures to name this hardy cheese. Built in the 13th century, Harlech Castle sits atop a cliff, keeping a watchful eye over the sea and Snowdonia, the land below. Harlech is a mature cheddar blended with horseradish and parsley. This vegetarian cheese is perfect as a table cheese to add a contrast to any cheese course , paired with a beer or a Rioja, and adds a new piquancy to cheese based dishes.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Harlech:

I first tried this at my parents after they'd received a gift from iGourmet. Had to buy some but it was out of stock. My only negative comment is just how hard it is to find...and iGourmet does sell out. Worth the wait.

This cheese is just overwhelmed with the tastes of horseradish and vinegar. You can't taste the actual cheese at all. Obviously, I don't recommend this cheese.
