SOUTH Caernarfon Creameries is showcasing slate-inspired accompaniments designed by local children from Pentreuchaf School at this year’s Royal Welsh Show.

The Welsh farmer co-operative were approached by the Pwllheli-based school to help on a project intended to educate the primary-school children about business and marketing.

The project, which the pupils decided to call ‘Menter Llechan Lan’, has been the focus of the school term.

The school children have spent months designing and liaising with Cerrig, to devise a range of slate products that can be used with South Caernarfon’s Welsh Cavern-Aged Cheddar.

The pupils returned to South Caernarfon Creameries in June to present their designs in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style forum, with the successful prototypes being made into finished goods that will be displayed and available to buy on the Creameries’ stand in the Food Hall at The Royal Welsh Show.
