Hard Cows Milk Cheese

Traditional Animal Rennet

Unpasteurised Cows Milk

St Gall is made by Gudrun Shinnick in the picturesque farm that she shares with husband Frank and Frank's mother. Gudrun herself is German, having trained in Germany before setting in Co Cork and marrying dairy farmer, Frank. Frank's family are traditional Irish farmers, who have maintained a closed pedigree Friesian herd since Frank's father's time. Orange-brown rinded, St Gall has the shape of a millstone with a creamy yellow centre with small round holes suspended in the paste. It has a velvety texture which feels creamy in the mouth and flavours that are fruity, nutty, long and complex. Sometimes it reminds us of hazelnuts.
