Description

Carrig Bru

As freshly made wheels, the Carrig Bru rounds have a lovely smooth paste and a sweet milkyness, with no developed rind. We bring the young wheels of plain Carrigaline to our warehouse in Co Meath to grow the natural, craggy rind unique to Carrig Bru. In the Sheridans maturing room, they are put on wooden shelves and the natural rind is created by repeated washing in Irish Ale. While the ale does not impart a beer flavour, it helps the rind grow and develop the overall flavour of the cheese.

Carrigaline Farmhouse cheese

Carrigaline, Co. Cork

Carrigaline cheeses are all made by hand on the O’Farrell family dairy in south east Cork. Fresh milk from Friesian cows is delivered daily from a neighbour’s farm to make the full range of Carrigaline cheeses. Pat developed his cheese recipes while studying cheesemaking at UCC. After careful recipe refinement and offering loads of tastings to locals, he developed his recipes to the cheeses we carry
