Roman Gold

Gouda-Style Cheese infused with Saffron

Roman Gold pays homage to the legendary Roman heritage of South East Wales, once the Roman capital of Wales. The region’s story is anchored in Caerleon, a historic settlement on the River Usk just north of Newport, where one of Britain’s most important Roman fortresses once stood. Among the luxuries cherished by the Romans was saffron - a prized ingredient used to signify wealth.

Made from pasteurised cow’s milk and inspired by this rich past, Roman Gold combines a smooth, creamy texture with the gentle, luxurious warmth of saffron. Its natural golden hue and delicately aromatic flavour create a distinctive and indulgent taste experience.
