Located in:Cheese, Ireland
The Ryefield Farm is situated on the shores of Lough Ramour about 45 miles Northwest of Dublin. On the farm, the Brodie family produces top-quality milk for their tender, hand-rolled Boilie cheeses. They make two varieties of Boilie on Ryefield Farm; one from cow's milk and the other from goat's milk. Each is naturally preserved in sunflower oil, delicately flavored with herbs and garlic, and packed in glass jars. Boilie is wonderfully delicate and is soft enough to spread. Its farm-fresh taste is made possible by the sunflower oil which preserves the cheese's youth. The goat's milk version is tangy and reminds one of a fine French chevre. Suitable for vegetarians.
  • Made from pasteurized goat's milk.

We purchased some boile in the Dublin airport as we were leaving the country. It was *amazing*. When we saw it here online, we were so excited. We bought 4 jars, thinking to give it as little gifts, and to have a couple for ourselves. When we first opened it, it was a shock. I love goat cheese, but I actually thought it had gone bad. Being the cheese people that we are, we tried it a bit more and it did grow on us. I would not compare this to a fine French chevre; it doesn't have the same creamyness. I will say that it is an interesting cheese however; between the oil and the tartness of the goat milk it almost seems like pickled cheese. You may want a jar for the experience. Just don't get 4. I would call this a mid-grade quality cheese. My next order, we may try the milk version but I wouldn't get this again.
