Ardrahan
Ardrahan means 'height of the ferns'. The
cheese is made by Eugene and Mary Burns from the milk of their
own cattle, the oldest registered Fresian herd in Ireland.
Washed rind cheese. Has a distinctive earthy aroma. Beneath
the washed rind, the deep yellow interior is firm and slightly
chalky. The finish is reminiscent of a young Gruyere.
Boilie
A delicious goats' milk cheese used as a snack,
in a salad or as a starter. Each Boilíe is gently rolled by
hand into a ball and then preserved in sunflower oil.
Cashel
Blue
Cashel Blue was the first blue farmhouse cheese
to be made in Ireland. The Grubb's farm is about five miles
from the Rock of Cashel, which dominates the local landscape.
A medium-flavoured blue with a melt in the mouth creaminess,
this cheese is less salty than the majority of blues. Ireland's
most famous cheese.
Cooleney
The flavour when ripe isrobust, soft creamyto
buttery in texture with a "mushroomy" tanginess unlike any
other soft ripened cheese. Full flavoured and grassy.
Gabriel
Made on the same farm as Desmond this is a
hard, granular cheese with a deep, fruity flavour and a mellow
aftertaste. Can be used like a Parmesan.
Durrus
Durrus is produced in the style of Tomme de
Savoie. The humid, warm, salty conditions of the South West
tip of Ireland are ideal for the making of this creamy wash
rind cheese.
Gubbeen
Generations of Fergusons have been farming
at Gubbeen House on the South West tip of Ireland. The salty
sea air is perfect for this type of cheese which has a silky,
pliable texture and a fresh, milky flavour.
Smoked
Gubbeen
Gubbeen is lightly oak-smoked by Chris Jepson
at Goleen's harbour. The smoked flavour does not swamp the
natural flavour of the cheese.
Smoked
Knockanore
Wonderfully strong, heavily oak smoked cheese
using mature oakwood from Eamon and Patricia Lonergran. Free
from all artificial flavourings & preservatives.
