The Cheese

The O'Farrells make three cheeses:

	an all-natural semi-soft cheese,
	one flavoured with garlic and select herbs,
	and a new maple-smoked cheese.

These cheeses are handmade with milk from Freisian cows, grazed on rich limestone soil, and pasteurised on site. No artificial rBGH, preservatives or additives are used, and the cheese is made with vegetarian rennet, making it suitable for strict vegetarians.
The cheese is semi-soft, with a delicate flavor, becoming piquant with age. For full flavour, it is best eaten at 12 weeks or older.

Carrigaline may be enjoyed in sandwiches or a cheese board and is excellent for cooking. It is best served at room temperature. It may be paired with many wines, of which Ann & Pat recommend muscadet or after-dinner port.

All three cheeses are are available in:

	200g and 400g waxed 'rounds',
	a larger 1.8 kg round,
	vacuum-packed slices,
	or to customer specifications.

Carrigaline Cheese is certified to BRC global standards.
