Hafod

Hafod is a Welsh cheese produced in Ceredigion. The cheese is made from the raw milk of Ayrshire cows and ages for 12 months. Hafod was created by Sam Holden in 2008 using a cheddar recipe. It often comes wrapped in cloth and has a moldy rind.

The texture is firm, dense, and smooth, but with age it becomes hard and chewy. The aromas are rich and the flavors are complex, tangy, buttery, and nutty, with a grassy finish. It's recommended to serve it on a cheeseboard with crusty bread and a glass of cold beer on the side.
