Durrus is an Irish cheese of round shape with powdery pink-orange colour rind. This semi-soft, washed rind cheese produced in Jeffa Gill's dairy is very famous in West Cork as one of the finest artisanal farmhouse cheeses. Made with raw, unpasteurised milk, Durrus smells of hay and wet soil and tastes buttery, mild and slightly acidic. Only milk from Friesian herds of two local farmers is used to prepare this deep-flavoured cheese. When mature, the rind of Durrus develops blue grey moulds that do not affect the flavour the cheese. Just rub them off to enjoy the fuller flavour with notes of moss and hay.
The cheese is available in two varieties: the original 1979 recipe aged at 5-8 weeks old and a young Durrus aged for only 10 days. Durrus pairs well with Pinot Gris, beer, champagne and prosecco and medium bodied reds.

Montgomery's Cheddar is one of the few truly traditional, handmade, unpasteurised types of Cheddar produced by James Montgomery in Somerset, England. The farm uses milk only from Montgomery's own herd of 200 Friesian cows. The cheese is made available in variety of flavour, ageing periods and sizes. Most cheeses are matured for 12 months in a muslin cloth on wooden shelves, while some like Montgomery's Extra Mature Cheddar are aged for 18 months to deliver that special texture and flavour. Montgomery's Mature Cheddar reveals deep, rich, nutty flavours while the Extra Mature variety brings a nuttier, spicier and peppery flavour to the palate. As with ageing, the texture is also a little drier than Mature. Montgomery's Smoked Cheddar is oak-smoked for six hours to give an intense smokey flavour and aroma, which complements the nutty flavour of the cheese. 
The Cheddar can be eaten cooked, grated or eaten on its own. However, it makes its mark when added to the cheeseboard.

Saint Agur is a blue cheese made from pasteurised cow's milk in the village of Beauzac from the mountainous French region of Auvergne. Since 1988, the Bongrain Cheese Company has been manufacturing this double-cream cheese.The cheese is suitable for vegetarians, as vegetarian-based rennet is added. Ripened for 60 days, the cheese develops a stronger and spicier taste as it ages. Saint Agur comes in various sizes and consistencies to meet all desires. It has no rind, but comes packed in a protective tub or portion packaging for public catering.Saint Agur is a unique combination of smooth, creamy texture with salty and tangy taste, though not as salty as traditional blue cheese. It is more rich and buttery with a subtle spicy taste. Due to its creaminess, it melts and spreads easily. It can be used as a dip with crunchy vegetables, or in gourmet sauce recipes. If you love the flavour, simply snack on the portions whenever you feel hungry.Saint Agur goes perfectly with many wines like Brouilly, Jurancon, Porto, Chardonnay, Syrah or Banyuls and fruits such as walnuts, pears and figs.
This celebrated cheese has won many medals including silver at the 2014 World Cheese Awards.
