Durrus Farmhouse Cheese

Durrus Farmhouse Cheese

Jeffa Gill is one of the earliest established cheesemakers in Ireland. She and her team have been making Durrus Cheese at her hillside farmhouse in West Cork since 1979. Today, the multi-award-winning Durrus Cheese continues to be made by hand using traditional techniques, with Jeffa now joined by her daughter Sarah in this family business. The milk is sourced from two neighbouring farms, where cows graze lush meadows overlooking the sea, a rich mixed pasture which is a cheesemakers dream.   

Durrus Cheese has a semi-soft paste and a natural washed rind with a delicately pungent flavour made using cow’s milk. It has a mottled pink-orange rind and a tendency to bulge slightly when cut.
