News From The Cheese Caves

Well it’s hard to believe it is here and gone but just last Saturday was St. Patrick’s day and on the 16th a full class of Irish Cheese lovers showed up at the Cheese Center braving a late season snowstorm to attend our first, and hopefully not last, Irish Cheese Class. With Sarah Bates on hand as our guest lecturer we took a journey through Ireland both visually and with our taste buds. The first stop was Tipperary starting with Cooleney Cheese we then moved on to Cork for some Durrus and Ardrahan, then up the road to Limerick for some Cahill’s Porter Cheese and back to Tipperary finishing with some Tipperary Cheddar and Cashel Blue. All of this without leaving the Cheese Center at 37th & 10th avenue in NYC. A good time was had by all and many participants commented that it was a great way to get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit. We did have a rush on our supply of Irish Cheeses but we do have some Cashel Blue That is just coming of age and is reaching it’s peak of perfection.
