Irish cheddars go well with our ham.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On all kinds of bread<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or with crackers instead-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This March, with St.\nPatrick\u2019s Day on the way, it\u2019s time for some people to celebrate all things\nIrish.  Being a cheesemonger, my celebrations\nare a bit more focused on cheese, specifically the country\u2019s most famous\ncheese, cheddar, and even more precisely, Tipperary Cheddar.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle, not for its wealth of jewels, but for something that some consider just as valuable, its lush green grass growing nationwide. With its temperate climate, Ireland has one of the longest grass-growing seasons on earth.\u00a0 Cows live outside most of the year and are able to graze on this hormone-free grass, which is full of beta-carotene, giving the cheese more flavor and color.\u00a0 Not surprisingly, being Ireland, the only thing added to the grass, for some extra nutrition, is clover, maybe even a bit of the four-leaf variety.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering cheese began\nas a way to preserve milk, better quality milk provides better quality\ncheese.  Where does better quality milk\ncomes from?  You guessed it\u2026happy cows,\njust like those in Ireland.  They live\nstress-free, slow-paced lives on one of about 3000 farms that average 1 cow per\n2 acres of land.  (Maybe in my next life\u2026)\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

County Tipperary, home to some of the most fertile rolling hills in this country full of them, was created in 1328, making it the earliest of the Irish counties.\u00a0 Here cheese was made over 1000 years ago, and mounted a comeback beginning in the 1970s.\u00a0 Tipperary Cheddar is rich and creamy, even right out of the fridge, and is perfect with crackers or bread, with jams (ideally the above-mentioned stout onion variety) or mustards, on a sandwich or melted in a fondue.\u00a0 Many people think cheese and wine is a match made in heaven (can\u2019t really argue with that), but this cheddar also pairs well with whiskey or ale, including the Guinness you might be enjoying this holiday.\u00a0 Is anyone else ready for St. Patrick\u2019s Day already??? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not to worry if you\u2019re\nmore of a blue cheese fan, Ireland (and Carlino\u2019s) has something for you,\ntoo.  Also located in County Tipperary,\nCashel Farmhouse Cheesemakers is a 100% family-owned business that produces\nCrozier Blue, Ireland\u2019s only sheep\u2019s milk blue cheese.  Smooth with a traditional sheep\u2019s milk bite,\nit\u2019s one of my favorites, by itself or with a dab of fig spread.  Luckily sheep can do more than produce wool\nused to make beautiful sweaters! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as St. Patrick\u2019s Day\napproaches, if you\u2019re looking for some advice on putting together an Irish-themed\ncheese board, or would like to share some of your favorite ideas for\ncelebrating the holiday, you know where to find me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
