Hafod (pronounced Havod) is Welsh for summer pasture. Handmade by Sam and Rachel Holden on their Organic dairy farm in Bwlchwernen Fawr, Hafod is traditionally made with Organic Ayrshire milk, rich in butterfat, and it’s this unique combination that gives Hafod its golden colour and rich, buttery, earthy flavours with a signature tang.

NUTRITION

HERD

Ayrshire cows

Ayrshire milk is rich in butterfat and protein, and is widely regarded as being ideally suited to cheesemaking. It is this unique combination of organic Ayrshire milk and traditional cheesemaking techniques that give Hafod its buttery, rich and nutty flavours.

MILK

Unpasteurised

Raw milk or unpasteurised milk is milk that has not been pasteurised, a process of heating liquid foods to kill pathogens for safe consumption and extending the shelf life.

A Word on Rennet & Rind Maturing

"Moisture is extremely important in Hafod. If you lose it, you lose the signature fresh grassiness. So, we don't get overly complex about it. Low and slow seems to be the best method at preserving its unique flavour."

Perry James Wakeman - R&R Affineur

Bwlchwernen Fawr, LlangybiLampeter, Wales, BRITISH ISLES

First time trying Hafod, and first time with rennet and rind, Package was well packed and quite quick so thank you A litte stronger than expected considering reading all of the reviews, and a slight strong smell and hard around the edges but that being said overall i still enjoyed it especially melted on cheese toasties and melted on roasted vegetables with lots of extra virgin olive oil yum! Thanks guys.

A wonderful cheese. This is my favourite British cheese at the moment. A subtle mix of cheddar and alpine classics like beaufort, comté and gruyere. A must-try.

Bought a box of eight cheeses as a gift… absolutely amazing cheese that was very well received. Some we have had before but all delicious and great service, sending when I needed it to arrive. Thank you so much.

Yummy cheese and great service. Stithian and Hafod very tasty. Hooray for Ayrshire cows that are renowned for being efficient converters of grass to milk. Great that your cheese makers take that a few steps further! Thank you!
