CELTIC PROMISE CAWS TEIFI
Cheesemaker Robert Patrice Savage-Onstwedder
“My earliest memories are of my parents wearing their white cheese caps, heading off to the dairy when I was two – then, tasting trial batches of Celtic Promise in the kitchen in 1996, excited by the gamey flavours of washed rind cheese.
I’ve learned a great deal from my dad, John, especially the importance of striving for excellence and keeping that commitment to quality at the forefront, even when balancing it with pragmatic business decision-making. Over the past few years, we’ve reinvested significantly into the business, allowing us to increase production and expand our team.” Robert Patrice Savage-Onstwedder, cheesemaker
