Made using milk from their own herd of Ayrshire cows, Hafod represents a pure expression of land, pasture, and traditional cheesemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"875\"\u003eThe farm’s Ayrshire cows are ideally suited to the landscape, producing naturally sweet, rich milk that is perfect for cheesemaking. Grazing on diverse herbal pastures managed through regenerative and holistic farming practices, the cows feed on nutrient-rich grasses, legumes, and herbs that enhance both soil health and milk quality. This pasture diversity directly contributes to the cheese’s complexity and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"1290\"\u003eInspired by traditional early 20th-century Cheddar recipes, Hafod is made using slower, gentler methods rarely seen in modern cheesemaking. A natural yogurt starter culture is used to encourage slow acidification, allowing the curds to develop gradually and retain their moisture and silky texture. This slower process preserves the integrity of the milk and results in a more refined and complex finished cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003eAfter pressing, each cheese is coated in lard to protect it during maturation while allowing it to breathe and develop its natural rind. The cheeses are then matured for around 12 months, during which they are regularly turned and carefully monitored. This long maturation allows Hafod to develop its distinctive texture and depth of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1979\"\u003eThe texture is firm yet smooth and slightly supple, offering a refined mouthfeel. The flavour is rich, buttery, and deeply savoury, with notes of toasted nuts, sweet cream, and subtle grassy complexity reflecting the pasture.
