Ardrahan Cheese
Ardrahan Cheese is a type of cheese that originates from Ireland. It is named after the village of Ardrahan, located in County Cork, where it is produced.
History[edit | edit source]
The production of Ardrahan Cheese began in the 1980s by the Burns family on their farm in Ardrahan. The family has a long history of dairy farming, and the cheese is made using milk from their own herd of cows.
Production[edit | edit source]
Ardrahan Cheese is a washed-rind cheese, which means that during the aging process, the rind is washed in a solution of salt and water. This process gives the cheese its distinctive orange color and strong aroma. The cheese is typically aged for a period of 4 to 8 weeks.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Ardrahan Cheese is known for its creamy texture and robust, tangy flavor. The rind is edible and adds a slightly bitter taste. The cheese is often compared to other washed-rind cheeses such as Munster and Limburger.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Ardrahan Cheese is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. It melts well, making it a good choice for fondue or gratin. It can also be served on a cheese board, paired with fruits and wine.
Availability[edit | edit source]
Ardrahan Cheese is available in specialty cheese shops and online. It is also exported to several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
