Carmarthen Ham PGI

Carmarthen Ham PGI Or so my dad, Chris, said to Rick Stein’s visit to film his Food Heroes series back in 2002.

The recipe of Carmarthen Ham has been handed down from generation to generation, the family legend being that when the Romans came to Wales and settled in Carmarthen, they stole the recipe and returned to Italy, renaming it Parma Ham! While Chris improvised this at the time, it has since been hotly debated and even attracted Italian historians who conducted research and written papers on the subje

ct. Their findings have been inconclusive, leaving open the possibility this story may have some truth in it!

Un o uchafbwyntiau Diwrnod 1 yn y Ffair Aeaf ddoe!

Wastad yn bleser cael Gareth Wyn Jones draw i’n stondin — a hyd yn oed yn well gweld Rhian yn ymuno ag e tro yma.

Ife super-seren ffermio yw Gareth? Ife comediwr? Pwy a ŵyr — ond mae un peth yn siŵr… mae’r ddau ohonyn nhw wastad yn dod â chwerthin a hwyl gyda nhw.

👇 Dyma’r cyfweliad llawn os ydych chi eisiau cael golwg!

Ac os ydych chi yn y ffair fory, dewch draw i’n gweld ni — byddai’n braf iawn eich gweld!

One of the highlights of Day 1 at the The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society Winter Fair today!

It’s always a pleasure having Gareth Wyn Jones stop by our stand — and even better to have Rhian join him this time.

Is Gareth a superstar farmer? Is he a comedian? Who knows — but one thing’s certain… the pair of them always bring a smile and a bit of fun with them.

👇 Here’s the full interview if you’d like to have a look!

And if you’re at the show tomorrow, please come over and see us — we’d love to catch up!
