Cashel Blue

Ireland’s Original Farmhouse Blue

Cashel Blue is a pioneering Irish blue cheese, handcrafted by Jane and Louis Grubb on their family farm since 1984. As Ireland’s original farmhouse blue, it remains a benchmark for balanced, characterful blues.

Made with pasteurised milk—about half from the Grubb’s own Holstein-Friesian herd and the rest from local farms—this cheese is vegetarian-friendly thanks to the use of vegetarian rennet.

Its texture evolves with age: young Cashel is chalky and lactic with a gentle blue tang; as it matures (up to 18 weeks), it becomes rich, buttery, and develops a more robust blue flavour and crumbly texture. Expect a bluish-green veined paste and aromas that deepen with time.

A wonderfully versatile cheese—ideal crumbled into salads, served with grapes, or enjoyed on a cheeseboard.

Pairing suggestions:

• Young Cashel: Gewürztraminer

• Mid-aged: Sauternes or New World Botrytis Semillon

• Aged: LBV Port

Please note all cheeses are hand-cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can!
