Ardrahan

A pungent Cork washed rind made on a farm that started in 1983.

Drawn by the app from this cheese’s own record — paste, rind and texture come from the data, not a stock library.

Mary Burns started making Ardrahan on the family farm in County Cork in 1983, at the front of the Irish farmhouse-cheese revival. The rind is brine-washed to a deep russet.

Savoury, meaty and earthy, with a buttery paste and a distinctly farmyard nose. Irish grass-fed milk shows in the sweetness underneath.
