Carmarthen Market
History. Legacy. Future.
Wales takes its cheese seriously.
We’ve got the riots to prove it.
Caws Riot is an independent cheesemonger situated at the front of Carmarthen Market—one of the oldest markets in Wales.
Our focus is to celebrate the history, legacy and future of cheese in Wales. After all, Wales has such a rich history with cheese that the people of Carmarthen once rioted over it.
Taking over the much-loved Caws Teifi Cheesemongers, Caws Riot continues a legacy spanning more than 40 years. We remain one of Carmarthen’s main suppliers of Caws Teifi organic cheeses and products from Dà Mhìle Distillery.
