Ireland

Blarney Castle is a 100% natural grass-fed cheese whose recipe treads 600 years back to Ireland. Not containing an iota of artificial flavours or additives, this cheese is made from pasteurised cow's milk in Blarney, near Cork by the Irish Kerrygold brand.

The golden yellow Irish cheese is mild and creamy with hints of rich and velvety notes. It tastes very similar to a young Dutch Gouda cheese, making it perfect to pair with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Gewürztraminer and fresh fruit. The cheese can be used for cooking and complements any sandwich.

Jane and Louis Grubb have been making the Cashel Blue cheese on their farms since 1984. It is Ireland’s original, farmhouse blue cheese as till then there was no blue cheese made on Irish farms. Nearly 50% of the pasteurised milk used in the cheese comes from Grubb’s selected Holstein-Friesians cows while the remaining comes from local herds. The rennet used in making in this cheese makes it suitable for vegetarians.

Depending on the age, Cashel Blue texture varies from chalky to soft yellow paste and a characteristic bluish green mould. Young cheeses taste & smell chalky, lactic and mildly blue while the older ones are rich & buttery with a well-formed blue colour. Over 18 weeks of maturing, the cheese takes on a robust flavour and is granular in texture. It is one of the finest blue cheeses that relies on it's balance in taste, texture and aroma.

Young Cashel Blue pairs well with Gewurztraminer while medium aged wheels favor Sauternes and New World Botrytis Semillion. The aged cheeses are good with LBV Port. Pick the scrumptious cheese to crumble onto salads or snack on with grapes.

In a way that only the Irish people can, the beautiful Cahill Porter Cheddar combines the tradition of Irish cheddar making with the strong, robust flavor of porter ale. Made in Limerick, Ireland, the rich, yeasty flavor of Dublin-produced Guinness stout complements a perfectly creamy cow’s milk cheddar. Made by Dave and Marion Cahill, the Porter Cheddar is individually hand-crafted using the pasteurized milk of Holstein Friesian cows, and is beautifully marbled by the introduction of the ale. The cheddar curds are bathed in the Guinness and then pressed into molds. A mosaic-like pattern appears in the semi-hard cheese, creating a striking appearance. The cheese finishes with a sweet note, which may be described as floral, or even “chocolatey.” Try it on your next deli sandwich for a delicious and unexpected twist!

As enthusiastic as a traditional Irish pub, the Cahill Cheddar with Whiskey will have your mind buzzing with flavor. Classic Irish cheddar curds are immersed in Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey, a single-malt delight. The result is a dense, highly flavored cheese that brings you from the smooth, buttery texture of cheddar to the crisp, sharp flavor of whiskey. For the true Irish experience, pair this full-bodied cheese with soda bread, or dress up a deli sandwich stuffed with corned beef and whiskey cheese!

Cahill Cheddar with Ardagh Wine features a beautiful pale yellow and rose colored marbling attributed to the inclusion of Ardagh wine. The cheese takes the classic taste of Irish cheddar and combines it with the floral, sweet and distinctive taste of wine. The curds are bathed in Ardagh wine before being pressed together to achieve the cheese’s studding mottled appearance. Beautifully presented when displayed on a cheese platter.
