This is a 2019 World Cheese Award winner and one of only a tiny number of sheep's cheeses made in Ireland. This is a semi-hard sheep's cheese with a natural creamy golden rind. This Irish sheep's cheese is aged for a minimum of 12 weeks. The ivory-hued pate is supple and creamy, often with small eyes (holes), slightly crumbly and becomes firmer as the cheese ripens. Made with pasteurized sheep's milk, it is creamy and buttery in the mouth with slightly sweet undertones. This 400g piece is a fine big hunk ideal for a cheese board with friends. 

If kept in an air-tight container, the shelf life on Rockfield by Velvet Cloud sheep's cheese is at least four months. However, we haven't met anyone who has managed to keep it for that long, as it's a bit too tempting.

Olivia ★★★★★

The texture is beautifully firm but still creamy enough to melt on the tongue, and the flavor has that distinct sheep's milk richness you don't get from cow cheese. I've already gone through half the 130g block in two days, it's that moreish.

Avery I. ★★★★★

That award from 2019 is no fluke—this semi-hard sheep’s cheese has a lovely firm bite that crumbles just slightly, and the fact it’s one of Ireland’s few sheep’s cheeses makes it feel special. I’ve already gone through half the 130g block in one sitting, it’s that moreish.

Chloe Q. ★★★★★

The texture is exactly what I look for in a semi-hard cheese—firm but yielding, and it crumbles just right. I've already gone through half the wedge in two days, which says more than my words can.
