Teifi is a traditional cheese originating from Ceredigion. The semi-hard cheese is made from raw cow's milk and there are several varieties, depending on the maturation period (2 to 9 months). This gouda-style cheese has a natural rind, and underneath it the texture is dense, creamy, and smooth.
As it ages, the texture becomes stringy and flaky. The aromas are rich and intense, while the flavors are deep, savory, mild, spicy, and sweet. Teifi is also available in smoked versions, and some cheeses are flavored with onions, sweet peppers, cumin, garlic, or seaweed.
