Cashel Blue

Item #: 7325

Characterful but not too strong. The youngest Cashel Blue will reach you at between 6 to 10 weeks of age and is pleasant, firm and creamy edged with an established blue character which is offset by a mouth-watering tanginess. By 3 months of maturation your Cashel Blue will have broken down to a richer, fuller and rounder flavor developing greater creaminess as it matures up to 6 months.

The look: Cashel Blue has a white paste when young turning increasingly towards a buttery yellow as it matures. Throughout this paste there is a blueing often referred to as having marble-like pattern. The rind, which with time can develop a film of surface mould is untreated and is therefore edible. It is intrinsic to the cheese and contributes to the breaking down of the paste, adding further flavor and complexity. The rind can taste saltier than the inner paste.

Established in 1984 Cashel Blue is the original Irish Farmhouse cow’s milk blue cheese. Cashel Blue is a unique creation of J&L Grubb Ltd’s founders, Jane and Louis Grubb. Developed at a time when softer blue cheeses were a rarity in the English speaking world, Cashel Blue truly set the trend as an alternative to the traditional and stronger Blue Stilton.
