Ardrahan

Ardrahan is an Irish cheese originating from Kanturk, where it has been produced by the Burns family since the early 1980s. The cheese is made with pasteurized cow's milk coming from Friesian cows. It has a brine-washed rind that hides a smooth and chalky texture of the body underneath it, with pungent and earthy aromas, and nutty, acidic, meaty, smoky, and buttery flavors.

After the brining process, Ardrahan is left to mature for about 4 weeks. It is recommended to pair the cheese with a glass of robust red wine.
