Cheese Tasting for Two at The Blaenafon Cheddar Company

Enjoy exploring a range of home grown Welsh cheeses at the hands of an expert. The tasting takes place at The Blaenafon Cheddar Company, a specialist cheddar cheese company based in the World Heritage site of Blaenafon, South Wales. At present they produce very distinctive cheddars and goat's cheese. All their cheeses are handmade at their shop, and the Pwll Mawr cheddar is actually matured at the bottom of the mine shaft at Big Pit mining museum!

You will taste cheeses from Blaenafon Cheddar Company’s full range including Pwll Ddu (Black pool) which is flavoured with mustard, leeks and The Reverend James Welsh ale which gives a mouth-watering savoury bite. There’s also Anadl y Ddraig (Dragon's breath) which is a hot chilli cheddar with a hint of sweetness and creaminess.

Blaenafon is a World Heritage site and has plenty of attractions in the area to enjoy after or before your tasting, including The National Coal Museum and Blaenafon's Heritage Railway.

Your tasting will begin with a welcome and introduction with tea or coffee on arrival. You will then be given some information about the business and the cheeses you will taste, this will be followed by a session in which you can sample between 10 and 13 individual cheeses.
