Durrus cheese
Durrus is a washed rind cows’ milk cheese which was invented by Jeffa Gill in 1979, and is made using traditional methods. It is produced in the valley of Coomkeen, on the Sheep's Head Peninsula in the southwest corner of Ireland, where local herds provide the unpasteurised milk needed to make it.
The cheese is round and semi-soft. It has a pale interior with a pinkish, yellow-grey rind. It is matured for 3 to 5 weeks to allow the flavour to develop. It has a mild and creamy taste that becomes stronger and fruitier as it ages. The aroma is mild to strong, depending on age.
Durrus has won many awards from competitions such as the IFEX International Cheese Awards, the World Cheese Awards, and the British Cheese Awards. In 2005, it won the IFEX Irish Farmhouse Cheese Maker of the Year award.
