Sharron, don't go getting a bit up yourself lol

xx

That's the one!
Thank you.

Hi Sharron,
Just over Caerphilly mountain is Thornhill farm shop-they sell locally produced food. http://www.thornhillfarm.co.uk/

If your planning to visit Caerphilly in July they have a 3 day festival called "The Big Cheese". Info about it can be found here -http://www.caerphilly.gov.uk/bigcheese/english/index.htm

There are food stalls that sell local produce, and it is really a good day out.

Pmsl....i'm glad i only c&p it,
I will leave it in for others to spot..lol

Looked again and don't think you have made a mistake.That can't be a word can it?They have made it up surely.

Don't fancy that cheese much!
Not a spelling mistake,have been on their site.

Thanks for that but Kingston would be a different day out.

Did you know you have a really cracking spelling mistake,the best I have seen?I love it but it does put me off the cheese a bit.

I am not criticising your typing and I don't usually notice spelling mistakes as I make them myself but it is wonderful.Has really cheered me up.

Hi Sharon,

found this - the company is called,Norbiton Fine Cheese Co
you can buy over the internet and this is what they say ...............

We only sell Farmhouse and small quantity artisanal cheeses, and we are proud to say that you will not find a single mass produced cheese on this site. You will, however, find many of your old favourites such as Cheddars, Bries and Blues, but these aren’t your run of the mill cheeses, these are some of the best of their kind, with many winning gold medals and being AOC accredited. Why not come and visit us in Kingston to see our full range; our shop is open Wednesday to Saturday, 9.00am - 6.00pm.

Our Service

To ensure absolute freshness, all cheeses are delivered using 24 dispatch. We use high quality insulated packaging with chill pouches that keep the cheese at an optimal temperature for 24 hours or longer. This helps to ensure you get your order in the same perfect condition as when it left us.

Thanks Sharron LOL

Build your own rugby team,now that sounds interesting.

I don't eat bacon,can you have it with something else?Vege rashers at a push I suppose.

Looks like it is going to have to be Sidoli's again.I know I like that!

It's not to everyone's taste.... Quite tasty though made into small pats and fried with bacon...... Builds Rugby teams, ..Lol
. Some of the small town markets sell it, but it is much sloppier than home produced stuff, but that is sooo labour intensive.
Not sure how far inland you will find it.

Give it a try, ...it's something different.

Yeast cake or Bara Brith are other Welsh cakes worth trying.

Gwyn

How about larva bread.will I like that?

There's likely to be a tea-shop selling home-made Welsh cakes.

or take some butter home to make your own ?

Gwyn

Well,do you know,I have found a place that makes it and it is only eighty-five miles away from Caerphilly in Newcastle Emlyn.

Think we might shelve that idea then.

Any other suggestions as to what we might buy around there?

Googling it seems the only Caerphilly Cheese considered as the real deal is made in Ceredigion

Hi

My family are from that area, but I have not been there for many years now. I understood that Caerphilly cheese has not been made in Caerphilly for years. Now only made commercially in large factories.

Possibly you could try searching for farm shops or delis in the area. I know that there are local cheeses available from these around here that you would never find in a supermarket

I had a look on their site and they only do bulk butter.

I know there is excellent ice-cream to be had in Ebbw Vale and was hoping somebody might have some local knowledge of somebody producing cheese.
