Ardrahan is a type of semi-soft cheese with a pungent aroma, Ardrahan cheese has buttery textured honey-coloured centre with a complex delicate flavour. It has a washed rind which grows into a golden colour, and its size and weight tend to vary slightly due to the fact that it is a hand-made product. In general the large wheel weighs about 1.5 kg. There is also a small consumer wheel which weighs 300g. It is yellow-coloured.
Ardrahan also develops a nutty flavour with maturity. It has a unique flavour that lingers, leaving a very pleasant after-taste. It contains only 25% fat approximately. It is hand made using traditional methods and only whole milk and vegetarian rennet are used.
And here I was thinking the Irish only produced Guinness!
