The big cheese hits the small screen - Collier’s launch first TV ad campaign 




7 November 2012

The first ever TV commercial for iconic Welsh cheese brand Collier’s
Powerful Welsh Cheddar gets its first airing on S4C this week.

The ad for the uniquely powerful cheddar will hit TV screens during Prynhawn
Da at 2.45 pm tomorrow (Thursday 8 November 2012.)

In a witty instance of art imitating life, the commercial features Collier’s
real-life brand ambassador, Darren Gough, and sees him attending an audition
to be the face of Collier’s.

 The Collier’s representatives are initially perplexed as to why an English
cricketer would want to be the face of a Welsh cheese, but Darren’s
boundless enthusiasm for Collier’s is so infectious that it wins them over.

Filmed at the iconic Welsh Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay, the 30 second
ad features stirring Welsh choral music to firmly position the award-winning
cheddar as “A Powerful Taste of Wales.”

Filmed in both Welsh and English, the ad focuses on Collier’s Welsh
credentials and powerful taste appeal, which is so strong it has led Darren
to don a red rugby jersey in a bid to win the role.

“Collier’s core values are its Welsh provenance and its extraordinary
taste,” explains Dan Harper from Fayrefield Foods, who own the Collier’s
brand.

“The creative shows that Collier’s appeal is so powerful that it can bowl
anyone over and even turn them a little bit Welsh!”

Darren Gough relished the role and with it the opportunity of learning a
little bit of Welsh.

The Yorkshireman has long been a massive fan of Collier’s, and with two
teenage sons in the household, gets through a block of the powerful cheddar
a day.

“I absolutely love Collier’s so there was no real acting involved,” says the
former Strictly Come Dancing champion and now a presenter of Talksport
radio.

“The taste really does hit me for six and I am chuffed to be the brand
ambassador. I really hope these ads spread the word that Collier’s is the
best cheddar so more people get to try it, because if they haven’t yet, they
are really missing out!”

Made by Welsh production company, Orchard, the commercial will run for eight
weeks to drive sales in the busy approach to Christmas, which traditionally
sees a massive jump in sales of food and drink. 

It features Welsh actors Dewi Rhys Williams, who has starred in S4C dramas
such as Teulu and Caerdydd, and Victoria Pugh.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
