Caerphilly cheese is a traditional Welsh cheese known for its crumbly texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor. It is made from cow's milk and typically has a white, bloomy rind. Originating in the town of Caerphilly in South Wales, this cheese was originally produced for local coal miners as a nutritious and portable food. The cheese is often sold in large rounds and can be enjoyed on its own or used in various dishes. Caerphilly cheese is also recognized for its versatility, pairing well with fruits, crackers, and wines, making it a popular choice for cheese boards.
