The sight of Calon Wen’s blushing Rosset Red Leicester is a welcome one indeed, with a moreish, nutty taste that’s impossible to ignore. Such a delicious flavour stems from using similarly delicious, organic milk, sourced from dairy herds that graze on clover-rich pastures all over the Welsh countryside. Calon Wen then craft this top-quality milk into a sweet, nutty cheese with a gentle creaminess. Add its rosy hue to your cheeseboard and you’ll discover that this people-pleasing dairy delight is likely to vanish first.

Producer
Though they started out as a small farm, Calon Wen are now Wales’ leading organic dairy cooperative. As their family grows, so too have their ambitions. While their cows graze on clover-rich, un-treated pastures, making deliciously creamy milk, the farmers have preserved ungrazed wildflower margins for pollinators to return to as part of the ‘Pasture for Pollinators’ programme. Now, 73 species of bees, butterflies and other bugs have returned in a brilliant display of biodiversity.
