Irish Porter Cheddar

Handcrafted in County Limerick, Ireland, Cahill’s Irish Porter Cheddar is a striking marbled cheese infused with traditional Irish porter beer. Matured for around 10 months, this semi-hard cheddar combines smooth, creamy texture with rich, malty flavours and a gentle tang from the porter. A true Irish original — and the world’s first porter-infused cheese — it’s as eye-catching as it is delicious.
