Editor’s note: this post was updated 3\/11\/22<\/em><\/p>\n

St. Paddy’s Day is nearly here, and what better way to celebrate than by showcasing some beloved Irish cheeses? The Irish have a long history<\/a> with all things dairy, and curds are no exception. <\/span>Whether it’s paired<\/a> with a hearty stout, added to your corned beef and cabbage<\/a>, or eaten on its own, an Irish wheel is a must-have on March 17. Here are five to try:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gleann<\/center><\/p>\n

Gleann \u00d3ir<\/a><\/h3>\n

Gleann \u00d3ir\u2014produced by Cooleeney Farm<\/a>\u2014literally means <\/span>\u201cGolden Vale” in Irish. It’s a term used to describe Ireland\u2019s lush dairy farming lands in three counties: Tipperary (where Cooleeney is based), Cork, and Limerick. Matured up to nine months, this hard, natural-rinded goat’s milk cheese offers a range of flavors that change as it ages, but one constant is the hint of sweetness from the milk. Try pairing it with an Irish cider or Viognier.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Claddagh B\u00f3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Claddagh B\u00f3 is <\/span>Somerdale\u2019s<\/span><\/a> line of Irish Cheddar cheese. The name Claddagh B\u00f3 originates from two Gaelic terms; the Claddagh ring, which symbolizes love, friendship, and loyalty, and B\u00f3, which is Gaelic for cow. Available year round, these traditional cheeses are made with grass-fed cow’s milk by the O’Doherty family on their farm in County Limerick. In addition to original aged cheddar (above), the line includes newly released Irish Porter and Irish Whiskey versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ardrahan\"

Ardrahan<\/a><\/h3>\n

This semi-soft cow’s milk cheese by Ardrahan Farmhouse Cheese<\/a> hails from Kanturk in southern Ireland’s County Cork. Lucky for the Burns family, who have been making cheese since 1983, Ireland’s temperate and damp, maritime climate is ideal for washed-rind wheels. Ardrahan is washed with salt water during aging to help mold growth, which ripens the cheese and ultimately gives it its washed rind. Unsurprisingly, Ardrahan gives off a pungent aroma, and it has meaty flavors of smoke and bacon.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Cashel<\/center><\/p>\n

Cashel Blue<\/a><\/h3>\n

Named after the majestic Rock of Cashel<\/a> castle in County Tipperary, Cashel Blue is a semi-soft whole cow’s milk cheese<\/span>. Created in 1984 by Cashel Farmhouse Cheesemakers<\/a> owners Jane and Louis Grubb,<\/span> this award-winning blue is described as a softer, creamier alternative to Stilton<\/span>. When young, the cheese is firm and possesses a slightly sharp flavor. As it ages, Cashel Blue develops a melt-in-your-mouth texture and mellower notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"Carrigaline\"

Carrigaline Beech Smoked Cheese<\/a><\/h3>\n

As the name suggests, this cheese by Carrigaline Farmhouse Cheese<\/a> is smoked with local beech wood, imparting a delicate, buttery, and mild flavor. Produced in the village of Carrigaline in East Cork by Anne and Pat O’Farrell, this semi-soft cow’s milk cheese has a texture similar to Havarti. Enjoy Beech Smoked Cheese alone, <\/span>add it to a sandwich, or wash it down with an Irish red ale. <\/span><\/p>\n
