5. Cooleeney Cheese

Breda Maher and her husband Jim began making cheese in 1986 on their beautiful farm in Thurles, Co. Tipperary. All the milk used comes from the Maher’s own herd of 200 pedigree Friesians which the family have built up over generations. Daru which is a semi hard, pasteurised cow’s milk cheese is  known for its robust and earthy hints of cellar and mushrooms. Gleann Oir is also a semi-hard cheese with a distinctive chalky texture. Gleann Oir is made with goat’s milk and has a very different taste and appearance to cheeses developed from cow’s milk. Both cheeses are a welcome presence on cheese boards and a great complementing ingredient in a variety of recipes.  You can find a range of Irish cheeses in Dean & Deluca and Murrays Cheese ~ which also provides mail order to many states outside NY, for more information please visit www.irishfarmsteadcheese.com.
