Cooleeney

Cooleeney is a traditional cheese hailing from County Tipperary, where it was invented by Breda Maher. The cheese is made from pasteurized and raw Friesian cow's milk. It's aged from 8 to 10 weeks. Underneath its white moldy rind, the texture is smooth, buttery, creamy, and slightly clay-like.

The flavors are buttery, mushroomy, and pleasantly bitter. It's recommended to pair Cooleeney with a glass of Beaujolais.
