Organic Cheese

Caerfai Farm Organic Cheese is well known throughout the locality for its exceptional quality and taste. It can often be found on the menus of local fine dining chefs!

 Two types of cheese are made at Caerfai Farm.

Caerfai Cheddar: Matured for 5-12 months (depending on the season). Contains: milk from our own herd, vegetarian renet and sea salt. After being turned out the moulds the cheeses are trimmed then bound in traditional cloth. The cheeses are stored in the maturing room at a temperature of 8-12c. Whole Cheddar is best transported with the cloth retained, but we can unwrap and cut to order.

The weight of a whole cheddar is 4.5- 5 kg (approx.)

Caerffili:  This cheese is made to a traditional Caerffili recipe. It is a young cheese and can be sold as young as two weeks, although a Caerffili matured to 1-2 months has a more satisfying taste. Once out of the mould the cheese is left in a brine bath for 24 hours. The Caerffili is also stored on wooden shelves in the maturing room.

After about 2 weeks of storage, a slight mould blooms on the surface. After 1 month, darker patches of mould may form.

The weight of a whole Caerffili is around 3 kg.

We have facilities on the farm to vacuum pack and weigh cheese wedges of usually of around 250g each, but we can cut and pack larger wedges if required. Individual portions of cheese can be bought at the farm shop during the summer season.  We sell our cheese locally to many of the cafes, pubs and delicatessen in and around Pembrokeshire and further afield.  If you are intesested in buying our cheese either for yourself, a gift or wholesale please feel free to contact the farm.
