Cashel Blue, a cheese from Tipperary, Ireland, undergoes a delightful transformation from youth to maturity. In its early stages (6 to 10 weeks), it offers a pleasant, firm texture with a creamy edge, showcasing a balanced blue character and tangy notes. At the 3-month mark, the flavour evolves into a richer, fuller, and rounder profile without overwhelming strength.

As the cheese ages, it becomes creamier, achieving a harmonious blend of saltiness, blueness, and gentle milky elements. Around 3 months, a subtle touch of spice may emerge, and at 6 months, it reaches peak unctuousness, avoiding intense fiery blues.

Country of origin: Ireland
Region, town: Tipperary
Source of milk: Cow’s milk
Texture: Creamy, smooth and dense
Flavour: Buttery, rich, sutble spiciness, saltiness
Aging time:  Minimum 6 weeks

Serving suggestion: Consider caramelised walnuts, pecans, or dark chocolate (72% to 85%). Alternatively, fresh figs, pears, dried dates, and apricots complement the cheese, or opt for liquid accompaniments like honey, quince paste, tomato chutney, or flavorful fig paste for a delightful twist.

Wine Pairing: Cashel Blue pairs well with a diverse range of beverages, including beer, gin, whiskey, and wine. Wine enthusiasts can explore sweet and fruity options like Sauternes, Gewurztraminer, or Riesling, or opt for a dry Vouvray or Pinot Gris for a delightful contrast.
