Story
Drunken Saint arrives to our Meath location as small white disks of soft cow’s milk cheese made by Wicklow Farmhouse Cheese. It is then washed in Apple Brandy and aged in our Meath maturing rooms by Mark Booker for approximately 7 days. The natural rind and paste are similar to a mild camembert before we age it in brandy which gives its distinct colour and aroma. This is the newest cheese to the Sheridans range which brought home Gold from the World Cheese Awards AND Cáis Irish Cheese Awards.
Producer
Wicklow Farmhouse Cheese is a small dairy run by the Hempenstall family in southeast Co. Wicklow. The Hempenstalls have 150 cows and have been milking cows for over 50 years on their family farm. In 2005 John Hempenstall began making cheese with milk from their Friesian cow herd to supplement the farms income and soon constructed a purpose built dairy on the farm. Since then, Wicklow Farmhouse Cheese has gone on to produce a range of cheeses loved by many.
