English Cheese Cashel Blue 1 lb.

Cashel Blue - cow's milk semi soft cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Ireland.

This cheese is made in a similar way to Roquefort although it is softer, moister and less salty. When young the cheese is firm and relatively moist with a fresh and slightly sharp flavor. With aging it develops a melt-in-the-mouth creaminess and a rounder, mellower flavor. Cashel Blue can be matured for up to six months. All milk used for the cheese is now pasteurized. The very best cheese is made from April to October when the cows are out to pasture, but Cashel Blue is still excellent throughout the year.

Great for an Irish gourmet food gift.
