Located in: Cheese, Ireland

Our Green Waxed Cheddar is produced by Tuxford and Tebbutt from pure Irish milk. The milk for this "bitey" cheddar is taken from cows grazing the green grass of southeast Ireland, an area traditionally known as "The Garden of Ireland". Here, the winds blow in from the Atlantic, depositing rain throughout the year, providing the perfect growing conditions for lush grazing. This environment produces rich, creamy milk that is perfect for cheese making. Our Irish Green Wax Cheddar is aged for a minimum of 12 months, but may be aged longer as it is only when that distinctive strong Irish cheddar flavor is ready that Tuxford and Tebbutt's master grader will deem the cheese ready for sale. The cheddar is then cut into blocks and covered in green wax, giving the cheese a distinctive Irish appearance.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

What a wonderful cheese! A much mellower flavor and smoother texture than I expected, but pleasantly so. I will definitely be purchasing this cheese again - so glad I tried it!

This is simply the best cheddar cheese I have ever tasted. It is wonderful with fresh fruit and good French/Italian bread. Delicious with fresh baked croissant for breakfast.

Comments about Irish Green Wax Mature Cheddar:

I have had stronger "mature" cheddars which are also usually a little dry. However, what it lacked in punch was made up for in taste and texture. This cheese had a silky creamyness that was unexpected and just simply delightful.
