Cahill's Vintage Irish Cheddar with Porter


It's impossible to overlook the cheese and don't buy it. When I first saw it  reminded me "Salceson" - a type of head cheese (which has nothing in common with dairy products) made in Poland.
It has bitter flavor, which is lees strong when cheese is melted. I don't drink beer but I really enjoy the taste of the cheddar. Unique and irresistible.




Especially for Cahill's Vintage Irish Cheddar with Porter I baked : sourdough rye with double chocolate stout.

Cashel Blue (County Tipperary, Irish Farmhouse )

Cashel Blue is an exceptional blue cheese not only because of its interesting, voluptuous flavor ( for me: perfect!) and “whippy” texture. It's softer, creamier and milder than Blue Stilton but still  has a lot of character.
 It was created in 1984 by Jane Grubb who runs the dairy farm with her husband Louis. It was the first soft blue cheese in UK. Its name comes from The Rock of Cashel -group of Medieval buildings set on an outcrop of limestone in the Golden Vale in South-East Ireland.
 It is made entirely by hand from whole cow's milk from the pedigree Friesian dairy herd on their farm. It is ripened for two up to six months. The best Cashel Blue is made from April to October when the cows are out to pasture.
