Durrus Cheese Wheel 1x1.2 KG

The original recipe created by Jeffa Gill in 1979. These cultures develop the mottled pinkish skin as the cheeses ripen in their curing rooms. The paste is straw coloured with irregular tiny holes and a soft pliable texture. The flavour of the Durrus can range from mild, mellow and grassy when young to rich, strong and earthy when aged.

Durrus Cheese produce their cheese using age old artisanal methods, with a Swiss cheese ‘harp’ to cut the curd by hand in a traditional copper lined cheese vat. The curds drain in their molds as they are turned by hand to gently form their shape. Following a bath in briny water to absorb the salt they are then gently washed, wiped and turned each day in their ripening rooms in order to develop their characteristic mottled pinky grey rinds.
