Located in:Cheese, Ireland

Ireland's Beechmount Farm makes this superb blue cheese. Louis and Jane Grubb own this farm in the rolling hills of Tipperary. This county is the heart of horse country and a center for outdoor activity, including pony rides, treks on horseback, fishing, riding, and bird watching. The folks in Tipperary enjoy the good things in life, including their cheese. Cashel Blue is a young, somewhat mild and extra creamy cheese that, unlike inferior blues, is not too salty. It is a fabulous alternative to Gorgonzola or Stilton.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole three lb. form of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.
Suitable for Vegetarians.

I first tasted this cheese when I was in the UK and I was so happy to find it on igourmet. I introduced it to some of my friends and everyone thought it was fantastic. It is a step above your run of the mill blue cheeses, and even though the taste is bold, it is not overwhelming and not as salty as many blue. If you like blue chesses you should definitely give it a try. You'll never go back!

excellent!

The Best of the Blues

By "Doctor" Don from Helena Montana on 10/16/2007

Pros:

Creamy, Flavorful, Rich, Smooth

Best Uses:

As a meal with bread

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have tried dozens of blue cheeses. This is the one I like the best. Exceptional taste and smoothness. My most frequent use is to use it as a spread on "chunks" of warm baggette as a meal. One minor reservation. On rare instances the quality is not consistent. Good wheels are exceptional. Poor wheels are no better than many other brands. I strongly recommend you try this.

Good Value, High Quality

Best Uses:

Eaton on its own, Melted on Garlic Bread

One of the best Blues I've tried. Sweet and creamy like a gorgonzola. Blue vein is present but not overpowering. A solid addition to a cheese board.
