For us food is not just our job, it’s our way of life, and we are so lucky to live in a place where we can not only turn the cows milk into cheese, but also grow our own vegetables and fruits. A couple of years ago one of our cheesemakers, Metlin, brought us a vine from his homeplace in Turkey, which we have been cultivating.. One day we’ll produce a w**e to go with Cashel blue, we promise!

As we edge ever closer to Winter and our cheese stores burst with cheese,...

A few snapshots from the farm and farmhouse, where it all began 9ver 40 years ago...

Many taken as we walk between our farm and modern cheese-rooms.

Enjoy your day, enjoy the changing seasons, and hw we maybe adapt our favourite foods to the changing weather.

A midweek pasta dish idea, with Cashel Blue, butternut squash and spinach. This one is easy and quick and really you can improvise with what you have in the fridge and the larder. The marscapone brings a lovely richness and makes an instant sauce. Couldn’t be simpler.

We were lucky to sit down recently with the talented Head Chef Stefan McEnteer from the at and get a little insight into how a cheese plate is masterfully created. “Like everything here it depends on seasonality”. We couldn’t agree more! Thank you for the nice chat and for bringing Cashel blue to your tables with such panache and grace

We’re often asked how to recycle the foil on our cheeses..
Here Louis Clifton Brown, our on-site sustainability manager, explains how to do it :)

People often ask us what sort of w**e goes well with our cheeses… here are some tips:

A sweet dessert w**e like Sauternes is the gold standard for blue cheese, but a crisp, acidic white (like Pinot Gris) is magic with the sheep’s milk of Shepherd’s Store.

The creamy hues of Cashel Blue are a perfect partner for the golden notes of sticky w**es- notably rare Irish Apple Ice W**e or Honey W**e (Mead). Montbazillac or Sauterners pair to perfection.

As for Red w**e- Pair with a Rhone style Australian Red from the Barossa Valley , aged for softness, combining Carignan and Grenache grapes.

The magic of cheese pairing is about a “flavour conversation” that happens on your palate. When you pair a cheese like Cashel Blue with the right companion, you’re actually using science to unlock taste.
