O heddiw ymlaen, bydd Caws Caerffili yn cael ei warchod gan statws Dynodiad Daearyddol Gwarchodedig (PGI) Ewrop, sy'n un o dri dynodiad arbennig Enwau Bwyd Gwarchodedig (PFN) Ewrop. 

O dan gynllun enwau bwyd gwarchodedig yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, mae rhai bwyd a diod yn cael eu gwarchod yn gyfreithiol ar draws Ewrop rhag cael eu copïo a'u camddefnyddio, a rhag twyll. Caws Caerffili yw'r cyntaf yng Nghymru i gael y statws hwn ac mae'n ymuno â theulu o 15 o gynhyrchion PFN Cymreig.

Cyflwynwyd y cais am statws PGI i'r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd ar ran cynhyrchwyr y caws yng Nghymru, a arweiniwyd gan Carwyn Adams o Caws Cenarth. 

Caws Caerffili yw unig gaws brodorol Cymru. Cynhyrchodd Gwynfor a Thelma Adams o Caws Cenarth y caws am y tro cyntaf ym 1987 pan ddechreuont wneud caws o ganlyniad uniongyrchol i'r cwotâu llaeth. Heddiw, 30 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, mae eu rysáit gwreiddiol yn dal i gael ei ddefnyddio i gynhyrchu Caws Caerffili ac mae’r caws hwn wedi'i enwi ar ôl Thelma, sef Caws Gwreiddiol Thelma.

Dywedodd Lesley Griffiths, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ynni, Cynllunio a Materion Gwledig:


> "Roeddwn wrth fy modd o ymweld â Caws Cenarth yn ddiweddar ac ar ôl blasu eu Caws Caerffili Traddodiadol, gallaf gadarnhau bod hwn yn gynnyrch sy'n haeddu cydnabyddiaeth. Rwy'n falch bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gallu helpu Caws Cenarth, ar ran pawb sy'n cynhyrchu Caws Caerffili, gyda'r cais hwn.
> 
> "Rydym yn falch bod gennym bymtheg o gynhyrchion bwyd a diod bellach sydd wedi cael statws PFN. Mae hyn yn tystio i ansawdd uchel a natur unigryw ein cynnyrch."

Dywedodd Carwyn Adams o Caws Cenarth:


> "Rydym yn dilyn y rysáit yn ofalus iawn. Mae hynny'n cynnwys torri'r ceulion yn ofalus a mowldio'r caws yn unigol â llaw. Rydym wrth ein bodd bod enw'r caws bellach yn cael ei warchod. Mae hyn yn gwarantu ei ansawdd a'i ddilysrwydd, ac yn profi bod y caws wedi’i gynhyrchu gan bobl fedrus sy'n frwd dros gynhyrchu caws."

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi cymorth ariannol i bob cynhyrchydd yng Nghymru sydd am gael statws PFN. Y Gwasanaeth Datblygu a Chynghori Amaethyddol sy'n gyfrifol am roi'r cymorth hwn ar hyn o bryd.

From today ‘Traditional Welsh Caerphilly/Traditional Welsh Caerffili’ is protected by the European Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, one of three special European Protected Food Name (PFN) designations.

Under the EU’s protected food name scheme certain food and drink products receive Europe\-wide legal protection against imitation, misuse and fraud.  ‘Traditional Welsh Caerphilly /Traditional Welsh Caerffili’ is Wales’s first cheese to attain PFN status and joins a family of 15 Welsh PFN products. 

The application for PGI status was made to the European Commission on behalf of Traditional Welsh Caerphilly Cheesemakers in Wales, led by Carwyn Adams from Caws Cenarth. 

‘Traditional Welsh Caerphilly/Traditional Welsh Caerffilli’ is Wales’s only native cheese. Gwynfor and Thelma Adams from Caws Cenarth first made this cheese in 1987 when they started making cheese as a direct result of milk quotas. Today, 30 years later, their Traditional Welsh Caerffili is made with the same original recipe and has been named after Thelma, as Thelma’s Original. 

Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths said:


> “I was delighted to visit Caws Cenarth recently and, having sampled their Traditional Welsh Caerphilly Cheese, I can confirm this is indeed a product worthy of recognition. I am pleased the Welsh Government was able to support Caws Cenarth, on behalf of all Traditional Welsh Caerphilly cheesemakers, with this application.
> 
> “We are proud we now have fifteen Welsh food and drink products that have been awarded PFN status. This is testament to the high quality and unique nature of our produce.”

Carwyn Adams from Caws Cenarth said:


> “Great care is taken at every step of the recipe. From the careful hand cutting of the curds to the individual hand moulding of the cheese. We are really excited to be able to protect the “Traditional Welsh Caerphilly/Traditional Welsh Caerffili” name. It’s a guarantee of its quality and authenticity, and the skill and passion involved in the making."

The Welsh Government funds support to all Welsh producers wanting to attain PFN status, this support is currently delivered by ADAS.
