Knockanore Irish Mature Raw Milk Red Cheddar 1x150 GM

Red cheeses take their colour from the addition of annatto, and Knockanore's is no exception. Annatto is a natural seed derivative that has no flavour, nonetheless many feel that the red variety has more sweetness and depth. Knockanore red cheddar is aged for nine to twelve months. Available in 150g wedges or 1.5kg half wheels.

Knockanore Cheese is handmade on the Lonergan family farm in County Waterford, Ireland, using raw milk from their pedigree herd of Friesian cows. The Lonergan family have been farming in the lush rolling countryside of Knockanore for over 60 years. The cheese is a hard-pressed, mature farmhouse cheese made in the cheddar style. The raw milk adopts the flavours of the local pasture on which the cows graze producing a cheddar cheese with a complex creamy flavour, earthy tones and a nutty aroma.
