The name Tintern has been given to a type of blended mature creamy Cheddar cheese flavoured with fresh chives and shallots, made by Abergavenny Fine Foods. Typically produced in wheels of 2.25kg, it is sold in a distinctive lime green wax covering.
Tintern takes its name from Tintern Abbey on the River Wye, in Monmouthshire, whose monks farmed shallots in the abbey gardens in the grounds.
