What is Cashel Blue Cheese?

Cashel Blue is produced by the Grubb family on their farm in Ireland. The cheese has been made since the early 1980s. It is a semi-soft blue cheese made from cow's milk with a creamy texture and mild flavor. It strikes a good balance of saltiness and creaminess, with the blue veins adding a tangy and slightly spicy element to the overall taste. Cashel Blue is aged for about three months, during which it develops its characteristic flavor and texture.

The cheese has a natural rind and a pale ivory interior with distinctive blue veining throughout. It pairs well with fruits, nuts, and honey, and can also be crumbled over salads or melted into sauce
