Cashel Blue is the first blue cheese made at scale in Ireland.

When Tipperary farmers Louis and Jane Grubb created Cashel Blue in the 1980s, there were very few soft blue cheeses being made in Britain and no blue cheese at all being made in Ireland. So, in their embrace of blue mould, the Grubbs metaphorically broke the mould. Theirs remains very much a family operation: Cashel Blue is made in a purpose-built dairy designed by Louis's brother Brian, and the couple's daughter Sarah and son-in-law Sergio now oversee the business. All of the milk used to make this richly creamy cheese (which is named after a nearby landmark, the Rock of Cashel) comes from within a 25km radius of the farm, including the Grubbs' own herd of pedigree Friesians.

In 1985, we placed our first order of Cashel Blue, being the first to bring the cheese into the UK. The work we have done over time means that the cheeses selected for us arrive ready to sell.
