Story
To celebrate the best of Irish Creamery Cheddars, we have specially selected Carbery cheddars with exceptional flavour to be matured at Sheridans Cheesemongers.
Large 20kg Cheddar blocks arrive at Sheridans to be cut down into 5 kg bricks, which are then aged on wooden shelves in our humid maturing room. Mark Booker who manages are maturing rooms regularly washes and turns the cheeses encouraging the development of a natural rind. This process develops a culture on the surface of the cheese which adds an additional complex savoury flavour.
Producer
Set up in the 1960s Carbery was from the start and continues to be one of the most innovative and successful Irish cheddar producers. They continue to produce cheese on the same site and take advantage of the great quality milk supplied by four cooperatives spanning West Cork. Each of these Co-Ops are made up of a great number of small family farms. The dairy farms of West Cork have the great benefit of a longer growing season than most parts of Ireland allowing the cattle to feed on the lush pasture for most of the year. The quality of the resulting milk is the foundation of great cheese.
