{"product_id":"cashel-blue","title":"Cashel Blue","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCashel Blue is a handmade, semi-soft, pasteurised blue cheese with a thin natural rind. Moist and rich, it grows creamier and fuller as it matures, and a subtle spice develops in the flavour that adds an extra layer of depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made by hand by the Grubb family on Beechmount Farm in County Tipperary, using fresh milk from their own herd of ninety Friesian cows grazing the lush Irish pastures. After years of experimenting, Cashel Blue became the first Irish blue cheese to go on sale in the country in 1984, and it is still made on the same two hundred acre farm today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA well-deserved gold medal winner and lovely on a board. If you have any left over, crumble it into a homemade soup, melt it over a steak, or fold it through hot new potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe send our cheese by Royal Mail Tracked 24, with next-day delivery available across all UK postcodes for £4.99 per parcel. Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carefully pack every order to help keep your cheese in the best possible condition during transit. Royal Mail are very reliable, and most parcels arrive within 24 hours, but occasional delays can happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re ordering cheese for a special occasion, party or event, we recommend having it delivered a couple of days beforehand. This gives you some extra time in case of an unexpected courier delay and allows the cheese to rest and reach its best before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow We Pack Your Cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour cheese is wrapped in breathable waxed paper, which allows it to breathe while helping to protect it during transit and in your fridge. It is then placed inside a thermal foil pouch with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool on its journey. The gel pack will naturally defrost during transit; this is completely normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re also conscious of the environmental impact of packaging. Around 95% of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and make our business more sustainable. We believe great cheese should be enjoyed with consideration for the planet, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipe \/ pairing suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggestion – \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wild-fruitful-apricot-roasted-walnut-chutney\"\u003eAPRICOT \u0026amp; ROASTED WALNUT CHUTNEY\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApricot and walnut against a creamy blue is a proper pairing.
