Pantysgawn

Pantysgawn is a type of cheese originating from Wales, United Kingdom. It is a soft, white cheese made from goat's milk. The cheese is named after the farm in Monmouthshire where it was first produced.

History

Pantysgawn was first produced in the late 20th century by Tony Craske, a farmer in Monmouthshire. Craske began making the cheese as a way to use up surplus milk from his herd of goats. The cheese quickly gained popularity and is now produced by several dairies in Wales.

Production

Pantysgawn is made by curdling goat's milk with rennet. The curd is then cut into small pieces, drained, and shaped into small rounds. The cheese is typically aged for a few weeks before it is ready to eat.

Characteristics

Pantysgawn has a soft, creamy texture and a mild, tangy flavor. It is often coated in ash or herbs for additional flavor. The cheese is typically sold in small rounds, each weighing about 200 grams.

Uses

Pantysgawn is often served as a table cheese, but it can also be used in cooking. It melts well and can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, pastas, and desserts.
