The Trethowan brothers started making Gorwydd Caerphilly on their parents’ farm in West Wales but moved their production to Somerset in 2014.
Though once the staple snack of miners and local farmhands, by the mid-19th century production of Caerphilly cheese had all but disappeared from its South Wales homeland. Across the border in Somerset, however, the style lived on thanks to the region's Cheddar makers, who adopted it as a quicker-maturing cheese that could provide a steady stream of income while the Cheddars aged. After working as a cheesemonger here at Neal's Yard Dairy, Todd Trethowan learnt the art of Caerphilly making from Chris Duckett, a renowned Somerset cheesemaker and the only traditional Caerphilly maker in the UK at the time. He then moved back to Wales to set up a dairy with his brother Maugan on their parents' land, making cheese with locally sourced milk. In 2014, ever intent on improving the quality of their cheese, Todd and Maugan moved to Puxton Farm in Somerset. There, the brothers set about recreating the exact microclimate needed for Caerphilly.
When the cheese arrives with us, it is kept wrapped and in a humid environment.
Delicious. Caerphilly has always been one of my favourites and this one is better than the supermarket versions. Will buy again.
Perfect condition, delicious flavour, cut like a dream and was very moreish! Couldn't be faulted. Thank you.
Your feedback is much appreciated Jennifer - many thanks! We're happy to hear that Gorwydd went down well.

The perfect Caerphilly which proved very popular on our Easter cheese board. It has a great depth of flavour and is part crumbly with a creamy and citrus taste.
We're happy to hear that Gorwydd hit the spot and was a highlight on your Easter cheeseboard Amanda. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Gorwydd Caerphilly is extraordinary……mellow and yet tart at the same time….there’s nothing else like it and my splendid ‘chunk’ from Neals Years was young and wonderful!
We appreciate your feedback on Gorwydd WAC - many thanks for sharing your experience with us!
All the best,

Mild tasting, part crumbly but also with a creamy taste, part yellowing colour with a distinctive flavoured rind. A fabulous cheese all rounder.
We're happy to hear you enjoyed Gorwydd, Simon. Many thanks for sharing your feedback!
Best wishes,
NYD
