Usk Valley Cheese Company is delighted to announce that it has been featured in an episode of ITV Wales’ Coast & Country, broadcast on Friday 31 July.
The episode takes viewers behind the scenes of Welsh artisan cheesemaking, beginning at Josh’s Jerseys, where the journey starts with their Jersey herd being milked. From there, the programme follows the fresh milk to Usk Valley Cheese Company’s micro-dairy in Cwmbran, where viewers see how it is carefully transformed into Blorenge, the company’s handcrafted Brie-style cheese.
The cameras also venture into the maturation room, offering a glimpse at the company’s Gouda-style cheeses as they develop their distinctive flavour and character during the ageing process.
Ethan Parry, Director of Usk Valley Cheese, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be featured on ITV Wales’ Coast & Country. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the passion, care and craftsmanship that goes into every cheese we make, while also highlighting the importance of working with exceptional local producers like Josh’s Jerseys. We hope viewers enjoy seeing the journey from milk to wheel.”
The feature celebrates Welsh food and drink, local farming and the collaboration between producers who are committed to creating high-quality, locally made produce.
