Cashel Blue is a hand-made, semi-soft, blue cheese with a creamy texture and a buttery mild blue taste. Made from cows milk, over half of which is collected from the cheesemakers own farm, with the rest sourced from farms located nearby.
The cheese was named after the Rock of Cashel overlooking the pastures close to the farm. It has large blue flecks, made by the action of Penicillium roqueforti, the same agent used in Roquefort, Stilton and other blue cheeses.
