This lactic sheep cheese, from the milk of Llyn cross sheep, has an initial impression that Pyghtle is delightfully pastoral, evoking the simplicity and purity of yoghurt and fresh, creamy milk. Most enchanting, perhaps, is the evocation of warmed milk and meadows. A nostalgic nod to the cheese’s origins.
Its texture is both smooth and weighty, a satisfying contradiction. As the cheese lingers on the tongue, it unveils mellow undertones of citrus, which gently transition into a subtle nuttiness. With further maturation, the cheese develops a very slight spice and smoke, enhancing the depth of its flavour profile.
Drinks Pairings: This versatile cheese pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a light, fruity red like Beaujolais.
