A distinctive cheese originating from Wales, it combines creamy cheddar with the robust flavors of Welsh ale and mustard seeds. This creates a firm, slightly tangy profile with a subtle heat, and a visually appealing marbled appearance due to the mustard seeds.
The inclusion of ale imparts a unique depth of flavor, differentiating it from standard cheddars. The mustard seeds contribute a pleasant textural element and a gentle spice, complementing the inherent sharpness of the cheese. Its production often involves traditional cheesemaking methods, highlighting the rich culinary heritage of the region.
