Straight from the beautiful hills of West Cork, Ireland, Durrus is one of the country’s most celebrated farmhouse cheeses – and for very good reason.
With its distinctive coral-pink washed rind, creamy buttery texture and rich earthy character, Durrus is a cheese that just keeps giving. Younger wheels are mild, milky and wonderfully approachable, while more mature examples develop deeper rustic, nutty and fruity notes that cheese lovers adore.
Crafted by Jeffa Gill and her daughter Sarah Hennessy since 1979, this is a true icon of Irish cheesemaking and a must-try for anyone looking to explore something a little different.
Perfect on a cheeseboard, paired with a crisp Riesling or a glass of sparkling wine, and if you’re looking for the ultimate melting cheese, its younger sibling Durrus Óg is an absolute dream.
