Ireland’s favourite and most famous farmhouse cheese! Delicious on crackers or crusty bread, especially with Sheridans onion marmalade, and because it is so creamy and sweet and the tang is not overpowering it is the perfect blue cheese for cooking. Replace any recipe which calls for Gorgonzola.

Jane and Louis Grubb have been making Cashel Blue on their farm at
Beechmount, near Fethard, in County Tipperary since 1984. Since then the
cheese has gone on to become the best known of all the Irish farmhouse
cheeses. Over half of all the milk used in the production of Cashel comes
from the Grubb’s own select herd of Holstein-Fresians, with the remainder
coming from carefully chosen local herds.

Cashel Blue is a natural-rind blue cow’s milk with a soft, yellow paste and a
distinctive blue/green mould. In perfect condition, ie over about 14 weeks the
cheese should show little, if any, chalkiness in the paste and should bulge
ever so slightly near the rind. In terms of flavour Cashel provides a wonderful
contrast between the slowly dissolving, creamy paste and a well rounded blue
flavour. Cashel has none of the mouth-stinging harshness of certain blues,
relying far more on finesse than sheer raw power.

This classic Irish cheese is great with dessert wines, the Grubbs recommend
Vin Santo. For a less upmarket treat, try it with a Braeburn apple. Cashel is
also a wonderful cooking cheese.

the story of the producer

Sheridans Cheesemongers

After years of dealing with makers, bakers, growers, smokers and farmers we have come to recognise when someone is outstanding in their field and it’s for that very reason we teamed up with the renowned Sheridans’ Cheesemongers, who have an unrivalled reputation as suppliers of the finest Irish and Continental cheeses available on the Irish market and are increasingly recognised as being among the best cheese suppliers in the world. Their formula is simple but effective: they know who made their cheese, they know how they made it and they know where it comes from. Sheridan’s are the perfect partner for Ardkeen Quality Food Store as they share both our passion for good food, but also our respect for our customers. Working closely with producers to get the very best Sheridans Cheesemongers was established in Galway in 1995 by brothers Seamus and Kevin Sheridan, when they started selling Irish farmhouse cheeses from their stall at the Galway Saturday market. They soon opened their first shop in Galway. In 1997 they were joined by a third partner, Fiona Corbett, from Butlerstown, Waterford. As well as hosting their cheese counter, we also stock their own brand crackers and chutneys!
