Milk comes from the Crozier Friesland sheep flock which graze the lush limestone pastures near Cashel, Co. Made by the Grubbs (famous for their Cashel Blue), Crozier Blue is a similar recipe to Cashel, but was designed to showcase the unique flavor of sheep's milk. Crozier Blue is made from pasteurized sheep's milk, vegetarian rennet, cultures and salt. The cheese is matured gently for three months prior to sale to achieve a delicate balance of flavors - the natural sweetness of sheep's milk, a mild saltiness, nutty overtones, and delicious blueness.
Crozier Blue is slow to mature. It can be eaten when young and crumbly, or, for a subtle flavour and creamier texture, it is best kept to mature for at least four months from date of manufacturing.
- Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.
- We cut and wrap this item by hand.
- Suitable for vegetarians.

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.
Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.
What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.
How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

FreshWave Packaging
Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.
For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.
