 Caerphilly cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caerphilly cheese is a hard cheese that originates in the area around the town of Caerphilly in Wales.
It is a light-coloured (almost white) crumbly cheese made from cows' milk, and generally has a fat content of around 48%.
It is rumoured that the cheese was developed over time to provide the miners with a convenient way of replenishing the salt lost through hard work underground and so was a staple of the diet of the coal-miners.
