is typical of the cheddars produced in the past and is sealed in a velvety
black wax.

Pwll Du: (Black pool) cheddar is flavoured with mustard, leeks and
Double Dragon Welsh ale which gives a mouth watering savoury bite.

The cheese is coated in a neutral wax allowing the texture of the mustard
grain to shine through..

Blaenafon: translates as "where the river flows in the upper reaches of
the valley". This cheddar is flavoured with the finest Welsh whisky and
ginger preserve to give sweetness and warmth to the cheese. Served with
oatcakes or wholemeal crackers it makes a perfect choice for a specialty
cheeseboard. The cheddar is coated in a deep blue wax which represents the
colour of Blaenafon pottery produced in the early 19th century and from
which the town's football team take their name, the Blaenafon Blues.

bouquet for the gentle flavour of this cheddar. Combined with a hint of
garlic and lemon thyme. The cheese is sealed in a rich green wax.

medieval apple and blackcurrant brandy produced by the Celtic Spirit
Company. The cheese is covered in a rich brown wax.

Anadl y Ddraig: (Dragon's breath) is a hot chilli cheddar with a hint of
sweetness and the creaminess of a local Welsh ale that has been blended
together to produce a cheese that will leave you breathing the fire of a
dragon. The cheese is enveloped in a fiery red wax

tastes.
