Cashel Blue was developed in 1984,on a single family farm in Tipperary, Ireland. Cashel Blue is made entirely by hand from whole un-homogenized cows milk. Cashel Blue is a semi-soft blue cow's milk cheese.
Storing the cheese in foil in a refrigerator or cool larder allows the cheese to slowly mature further until the required ripens is achieved. A full flavoured ripe cheese is soft to handle whereas a young mild cheese is firm and crumbly.
