Gorwydd Caerphilly

Award-Winning Raw Milk Caerphilly with Somerset-Welsh Heritage

Gorwydd Caerphilly is a hand-crafted, raw milk cheese with a natural rind, steeped in tradition and made following a classic Somerset recipe—even though it began life in Wales. Originally created by Todd Maughan & Kim Trethowan near Llanddewi Brefi in the Teifi Valley, it is now produced in North Somerset, where it continues to win acclaim.

What sets Gorwydd apart is its longer maturation of 3–4 months, compared to the usual shorter aging of Caerphilly. This extra time allows it to develop a beautifully complex flavour—clean, citrussy, and fresh, with a rich, creamy, and moist texture beneath its earthy natural rind.

This cheese is multi-award-winning and a shining example of what traditional cheesemaking can deliver.
