Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with gourmet Kerrygold cheeses from the heart of Ireland – a treat for the cheese connoisseur in all of us!  Kerrygold’s cheese is made solely from the milk of cows raised on small local Irish farms, ensuring the highest quality and most authentic flavor.  Their cheese is all-natural and free of hormones, artificial additives, flavorings and colorings.  Because of the lush Irish grasses on which the cows graze, Kerrygold cheese is also high in beta carotene.  Choose from Aged Irish Cheddar, Dubliner or Blarney Castle.  They’re so good, you may even want to try all three!

Aged Irish Cheddar
You can be sure that you’re getting the real thing when you try Kerrygold’s Aged Irish Cheddar.  Their authentic Irish Cheddar is aged for at least twelve months and is graded multiple times to ensure that you get the best quality cheese possible.  As a result of Kerrygold’s stringent standards, this delicious cheddar boasts a rich mature flavor and smooth texture.

• Grate it and add to your favorite casseroles for a gourmet touch, or slice it and add to your next sandwich.

• Make mouthwatering cheese croutons by melting Kerrygold’s Aged Irish Cheddar on TFM French Rounds. Serve these croutons with our flavorful Tomato Bisque soup (fresh from the Deli) for a satisfying and delicious meal.

• For a quick after school snack or light appetizer, serve thick slices of Aged Irish Cheddar with Irish soda bread and apple slices.

Dubliner
Kerrygold’s Dubliner cheese is as unique and interesting as the city of Dublin itself.  Dubliner is aged at least twelve months which allows the flavors to mellow and the texture to become very firm, similar to cheddar.  Dubliner is best described as a cross between a cave-aged Swiss and a quality Parmesan and boasts a smooth nutty flavor and slightly sweet aftertaste.

• Add finely grated Kerrygold Dubliner to your favorite pasta dishes in place of standard parmesan for a unique addition that is sure to excite your taste buds. 

• Try this delicious recipe out at your next party: (link: Dubliner Cheese Dip; recipe below).  Serve this creamy cheese dip with TFM French Rounds, baby carrots and celery sticks.

• If you’re looking for a great wine and cheese combination, pair Dubliner cheese with a good merlot, cabernet, or oak-aged chardonnay.  Dubliner is also the perfect compliment to Guinness Drought.

Blarney Castle
Kerrygold’s Blarney Castle cheese is a true treat brought to you straight from the lush green dairy pastures of Ireland.  Blarney Castle is a semi-soft cheese with a mild flavor and creamy texture similar to a young Gouda.  This cheese is perfect for a spring picnic as it has a soft crumb-free consistency and pairs well with fresh fruit, especially pears.

• For a delicious Ireland-inspired snack, top sliced pumpernickel bread with a thick slice of Kerrygold Blarney Castle cheese and a dollop of Major Grey Chutney.

• Make a hearty sandwich with a kick by topping whole wheat bread with Rothschild Horseradish Mustard, sliced Blarney Castle cheese, and TFM Brown Sugar Ham.

• Try a cheesy chive potato by melting shredded Blarney Castle on a hot baked potato with Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter and plenty of chives for a scrumptious side dish.
