Located in:Cheese, Wales
Although Caerphilly was originally a Welsh cheese, this Caerphilly is made in Somerset, England. Caerphilly production moved to England in the early twentieth century when demand for the cheese had far outstripped the Welsh supply. The Duckett Family Farm in Wedmore, Somerset England is now praised for producing one of the finest Caerphilly cheeses available for export. Chris Duckett still makes the cheese according to the recipe his family used over a century ago. It is a mild cheese with a delicious creamy or buttery flavor. The cheese is softer and moister than many of the other well-known British cheeses, such as Cheshire, Lancashire or Wensleydale. It has a natural gray rind and a beige to yellow interior that is slightly oozy toward the center. This cheese dries out fairly quickly, so do not order it more than a week in advance of when you plan to eat it. This is suitable for vegetarians.

Comments about Duckett's Farm Caerphilly:
Very tasty, firm cheese with a mild, almost cheddary taste. This is a cheese that will appeal to non cheeseaholics as well as aficianados. Melts great and has a slight saltiness to it. Excellent with lagers and fruity wines (Tokajs' sweetness is a nice contrast to this cheese.)

Comments about Duckett's Farm Caerphilly:
Received cheese in excellent shape. Still somewhat creamy in the middle. Mild with a nice little bite on the finish. Many good comments from friends who thought it best a recent cheese tasting.
