About This Cheese

Durrus Og is a semi-soft, washed-rind Irish Farmhouse cheese with a mild and creamy flavour. The orangey pink washed rind gives the cheese mild earthy flavour which pairs perfectly with the buttery inside. This cheese makes a great alternative to Reblochon in recipes like Tartiflette.

Story

Having previously used the original Durrus cheese for making Tartiflette, Jeffa set off to make a new cheese inspired by the French classic Reblochon. After experimenting with many different sizes and age profiles Durrus Og was created. Since its beinging in 2008, this cheese has gone on to win many prizes and holds a firm place in Irish artisanal cheese. We love this cheese on any cheeseboard and of course, melted into many a recipe.

Producer

Jeffa Gill has been making Durrus at her hillside farmhouse in West Cork since 1979. She has been more recently joined by her daughter Sarah. West Cork has long been associated with milk production in Ireland, thus making it an ideal location for cheesemakers; whilst the wet, saline sea air makes the area eminently suited to washed rind production. Durrus is one of those true artisanal products which reflect the environment in which they are produced. The milk comes from two local famers whose cattle graze around the edges of Dunmanus Bay (cheeseclub notes)
