Ardsallagh Goat Farm

Carrigtwohill, Co Cork.

Jane and Gerard Murphy’s award wining Ardsallagh Goat’s Cheese is one of the original Irish farmhouse cheeses. It was first produced in two styles - as a soft fresh goat’s cheese, ready to eat in a week, and also a hard, mature version, left to age for four months minimum, which lends a fuller flavour, finished with a serious bite of goaty acidity. Nowadays the range has grown, and includes the fabulous soft roulade rolled with oregano, or at Christmas, jewel like cranberries.
