Durrus Óg is an Irish semi-soft cheese produced by Durrus Cheese. It is a younger version of their original Durrus cheese, with a shorter maturation period of about 10 days. This cheese is known for its creamy texture and slightly tangy taste, making it suitable for both cheese boards and melting over dishes.


The rind is often washed to develop its characteristic flavor and appearance. Durrus Cheese is based in West Cork, Ireland, which provides an ideal environment for cheese-making due to its rich pasturelands.
