- Medium - As flavours preferences vary from one person to the next, some may find Mature to be too rich, and others may find mild a bit bland. Medium Cheddar can be a happy medium! Typically, 3 to 6 months old, it has become a growing favourite on the market shelves.
- Mature - Mature Cheddar is typically aged from 6 to 12 month has a distinctive sharp and rich flavour, with a firm texture.
- Extra Mature - Extra Mature & Vintage cheddars aged anywhere between 14 - 28 months. A typical characteristic of Extra mature Cheddar is its calcium lactate crystal formations. This crystal develops from soluble calcium derived from the protein-bound calcium phosphate that is solubilised/released over the first month of cheese ripening, and lactate derived from the fermentation of lactose by starter cultures. Certain products also have a distinct nutty flavour.

Why Irish Cheese?
The high quality of Irish cheddar is directly related to our cow’s being pasture fed on grass for long periods of the year.

It has a distinct sweet, nutty flavour when compared to the
Irish cheddar is uniquely distinctive with its clean, sweet, fresh aroma and certain products have nutty flavour notes.
Irish Mature Cheddar is predominately produced in the summer period when the milk constituents are at their optimum. This allows the cheese to keep for long periods of time and to mature at an even profile. It is our opinion that Irish Mature Cheddar is the world's best but of course we are biased!
