Caerphilly

/kærˈfɪli/ noun

A type of hard, crumbly white cheese originally made in Wales, known for its mild flavor and ability to melt well.

Named after Caerphilly, a town in Wales where the cheese was first produced in the mid-19th century. The name comes from Welsh 'caer' (fort) and 'pwll' (pool), though the cheese's origin post-dates these etymological references.
