Irish Blue Cheese
Buttery rich paste laced with intricate blue-green penicillium mold lines, yielding a balanced dialogue of lactic sweetness, minerals, and piquant bite.
Needling & Oxygen Channels
Irish blue cheese undergoes meticulous stainless steel needle piercing at four weeks of age. These vertical air channels introduce oxygen into the dense curd matrix, awakening dormant penicillium spores to bloom outwards from center to rind.
Fudgy, Creaseless, Spreadable
Damp slate, forest floor, sweet pasture milk
Salted caramel, flinty mineral, peppery finish
"The hallmark of exceptional Irish blue cheese is temperance: the blue notes never overpower the luscious, grass-fed cream base."
Cellar Serving Recommendations
Slice with a thin heated wire to prevent smearing the veining. Pair alongside Irish raw heather honey, roasted walnuts, or fresh oatcakes.
