| Ardrahan
Farmhouse Cheese |
| Ardrahan has a
well-rounded earthy smokey flavour, which grows more robust
and tangy as the cheese ages. It owes much of its flavour to
the rustic golden brown washed rind. The cheese is lightly
pressed giving it a semi-firm texture, which softens into a
bulging compact paste. Available in 300g and 1.4kg
rounds. |
|
| Boilie |
| This is a soft
cream cheese formed into small orbs and presented in glass
jars. The cheeses are submerged in a marinade of sunflower
oil, herbs and a touch of garlic. It is a versatile,
delicately flavoured cheese that can be used in salads and
cooking or simply spread over a piece of warm toast.
Available in 200g and 1kg tubs. |
|

|
| Carrigaline
Farmhouse Cheese |

waxed rind, this sweet flavoured cheese is semi-firm yet
