How is it made/Flavour
Perl wen is made with pasteurised milk and is vegetarian. It is described as a Brie like cheese as it is made using a traditional Caerphilly recipe and is a cross between a Caerphilly and brie.
As the cheese ripens the cheese beneath the rind becomes creamy and buttery, when the cheese is young it is quite chalky.
The cheese has a soft centre with a fresh citrussy flavour and just a hint of salt.

Pairing
Perl wen pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc and also cava.
