South Caernarfon Creameries to launch new Welsh Slate Aged Cavern Cheddar at Royal Welsh Show
A new Dragon Cheddar that has been developed by South Caernarfon Creameries in partnership with Llechwedd Slates Caverns will be officially launched at the Royal Welsh Show 21 – 24 July 2014. The Creamery has adopted a very traditional maturing method with the cheese being transported from their Chwilog base to the Slate Cavern in Blaenau Ffestiniog and left to mature 500 feet underground.This maturation process, believed to be in the steepest mining maturation caverns, adds unique characteristics to the cheese; a firmer body and depth of flavour with rich savoury notes.
