"Daru"

"Daru" from Cooleeney by the Maher family in Tipperary.

($22/lb at Dean & Deluca)

 

"Darú is a beautifully balanced handcrafted farmstead cheese with a natural rind and long finish. It is a semi hard cheese made with pasteurised cow’s milk from the herd of the Maher family in the heart of Tipperary where the pastures are fresh and green. Vegetarian rennet is used in the production of this cheese and therefore it is suitable for vegetarians as well as coeliacs and diabetics."

 

Notes: Love it. Dry and crumbly and nicely salted. I especially love the aged bloomy rind, which is slightly bitter and velvety.
