Cheese made in North Wales using a traditional French method to mature it deep in slate caverns will be showcased at one of the world’s most prestigious cheese shows in Paris.

South Caernarfon Creameries will be showing some of the world’s most discerning experts at the Salon du Fromage how they have developed a Welsh version of the technique of maturing cheese deep in a cavern which was first created in France, in North Wales.

The co-operative based at Chwilog on the Llyn Peninsula will be showing cheeses from its Dragon Handcrafted range at the show from 23 to 26 February.

Now in its 16th year it, it is the capital event for the cheese industry, and will attract 219 exhibitors and 7,644 visitors at Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles.

Megi Williams, sales and marketing co-ordinator for South Caernarfon Creameries, said: “This is a great opportunity to show the world’s experts what fantastic dairy products we make here in Wales

“It’s exciting that we’ll be able to talk to people about how the cavern maturing technique inspired by traditional French techniques is being used here in North Wales.

“The range we’re showing is really unique as it’s made in partnership with other Welsh companies such as Llechwedd Slate caverns, Halen Môn and Penderyn.”

The South Caernarfon Creameries products will be showcased on the Menter a Busnes stand.
