Durrus Cheese, created by Jeffa Gill in 1979, has a natural rind that is developed slowly by washing it with cultures that are specific to the Durrus dairy. These cultures develop the mottled pinkish skin as the cheeses ripen in their curing rooms.

The paste is straw coloured with irregular tiny holes and a soft pliable texture. The flavour of the Durrus can range from mild, mellow and grassy when young to rich, strong and earthy when aged.

Durrus Cheese has won many awards over the years, both nationally and internationally. Recent awards include Gold Medals at the 2024 Irish Cheese Awards and 2021 Artisan Cheese Awards UK.

We aim to always supply our cheese in 1 whole piece to keep the cheese as fresh as possible, if you would like it making into individual pieces please add a note at checkout.
