Saturday at the market was WILD.
I ran out of Irish Cheddar.
New record . . . 40# in one day.

County Tipperary of Ireland is the idyllic setting for the production of delicious
Tipperary Irish Cheddar. The land of Tipperary is renowned for it's dairy produce
due to the many green pastures, clear waters and the mild climate it enjoys.
Set in the sunny southeast, Tipperary has been a dominant producer of milk
and cheese for many years. Tipperary Cheese, aged over twelve months,
has a rich creamy texture, which just melts in your mouth.
It has a delicious sharp taste, which satisfies the appetite
for a snack whether on a cracker or a slice of bread.
The rich yellow color in Tipperary Cheddar comes about as a result
of plentiful Beta Carotene in the milk, which develops in the rich,
fertile grasses that feed the cattle.

The Grubb family, descendants of buttermakers and millers expelled from England
in the seventeenth cenrtury, began hand-making Cashel Blue,
the only Irish blue cheese, just a decade ago.
It is produced in Tipperary, under the Rock of Cashel,
a remarkable outcrop overlooking the plains.
Cashel Blue has a texture and flavor similar to Gorgonzola,
it is a fine sweet and tangy blue cheese. Best on a crusty bread
with good Irish ale or stout, or a good red wine.
Made from pasteurized cow's milk, Cashel has a soft texture
and a sweet flavor cut through with streaks
of mellow tasting blue-green mold.
