Gubbeen

Ireland, Co. Cork

The micro climate of this region produces some of the finest cheeses and this one is no exception. Giana Ferguson’s cheese is made with pasteurised cow’s milk now using vegetable rennet, but still has the supple springy texture, with the wrinkled washed rind quite firm to the touch. The taste is not quite as intense as it used to be but nevertheless has a pleasant savoury herby flavour that is gentle on the palate.
