Today there are at least 23 cheese producers in Wales with some 136 varieties on offer. Along with 10 recipes featuring delicious Welsh cheeses, this book also has detailed notes on all the fantastic Welsh cheesemakers currently in operation. These easy, versatile recipes can be made all year round, with ingredients that celebrate the best of Welsh food and the fantastic range of artisan cheeses being made in Wales.
