CELTIC Promise, from Caws Teifi Cheese, has been named Best Welsh Cheese at the British Cheese Awards 2022.

The raw-milk washed-rind cheese, which is produced at Glynhynod Farm in Llandysul, took the trophy after more than five hundred cheeses were judged in a single day at The Bath & West Showground as the British Cheese Awards returned following a two-year hiatus.

A 50-strong judging panel made up of cheesemakers, cheesemongers, cheese experts, buyers and commentators assessed entries in their individual classes during the morning session, awarding Bronze, Silver and Gold accolades to deserving products from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
