Cooleeney Durrus Smoked Cheese, 8 oz (Case of 6)

From the lush, windswept shores along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way comes Durrus Smoked Cheese, a celebrated creation from Cooleeney. This semi-soft, washed rind cheese is crafted using pasteurized cow’s milk, salt, starter cultures, and animal rennet, reflecting the region’s deep-rooted cheese-making traditions. The Durrus Smoked Cheese is gently cold-smoked, layering the cheese’s mellow, grassy character with a subtle, aromatic smokiness that lingers delicately on the palate.

The cheese’s golden, slightly tacky rind encases a supple, creamy interior. Each bite reveals a harmonious balance of mild, lactic sweetness and savory, earthy undertones, enhanced by the gentle infusion of smoke. The texture is yielding and smooth, making it an ideal candidate for slicing or spreading. Durrus Smoked Cheese is best enjoyed at room temperature, where its nuanced flavors and aromas are fully expressed. It is equally at home on a rustic cheese board, melted into warm sandwiches, or paired with hearty breads and crisp apples for a satisfying snack.

For a memorable tasting experience, serve Durrus Smoked Cheese with a robust Irish stout or a glass of dry cider. Its smoky notes complement cured meats and roasted vegetables beautifully, while its creamy texture provides contrast to crunchy crackers or toasted sourdough. Whether featured at a festive gathering or savored in quiet moments, this cheese brings a taste of Ireland’s coastal terroir to your table.
