Durrus | Local Cheese From Durrus, Ireland | TasteAtlas

Durrus

Durrus is a semi-soft Irish cheese made from raw cow's milk. It's been produced in the valley of Coomkeen in West Cork since 1979. The cheese has a natural washed rind that is pinkish in color. Underneath it, there is a straw-colored paste with numerous irregular small eyes dispersed throughout it.


The texture is soft and pliable, while the flavors range from grassy, mellow, and mild when young (10 days) to strong, rich, and earthy when mature (5-8 weeks). It is recommended to pair Durrus with beer, prosecco, champagne, or medium-bodied red wines.
