Though widely regarded as a classic Welsh cheese, Cheddar makers in Somerset have been making Caerphilly since the late 19th century as a means of generating some short-term cash while their slow-ageing Cheddars matured.
Duckett's Caerphilly is produced at Westcombe Dairy in Somerset using the same milk used to make the acclaimed Westcombe Cheddar. It is named after Chris Duckett, who moved his cheesemaking operations to Westcombe in the late 1990s. The Ducketts' original farm was based in nearby Wedmore, where the family had been making their Caerphilly since the 1920s. When a few years later Chris retired from cheesemaking, the team at Westcombe resolved to keep the tradition alive by adopting both his recipe and his original brine tank. They continue to brine the cheese in this tank, which is over 20 years old and carries a unique microbial community.
We visit Westcombe Dairy six times per year to taste and select Duckett's Caerphilly.
