Wicklow Ban 150g

Wicklow Bán, is a double cream cheese with a fat content 65-70%, meaning additional cream is added to the milk thus ensuring a fuller flavour and sumptuous texture. Like all of the Wicklow Farmhouse cheeses, Wicklow Ban is made from milk the Hempenstall’s Friesian herd. John and Bernie are cautious to avoid over-salting this cheese, which may explain how they have achieved creaminess without the overly buttery notes often associated with other double and triple cream cheeses. It’s pillowy rind is a brilliant white and its paste a soft creamy shade, thus aptly named Wicklow Ban meaning ‘white’ as Gaeilge.
