Irish Blue Cashel Cheese: A True Blue

A House favorite for sure.  Making it's way all the from Ireland to Maui is testament to it's brawn and even further still onto the "top shelf" of the Guava Gouda And Caviar Gourmet Cheese case to it's unwavering beauty.  Made in a small town, by a passionate family with traditional and all natural ingredients it's qualities are harmonious yet individually distinctive.  The body is rich and creamy and memorable.  The marbling adds a minerally effervescence that subtly tingles your tongue and lifts some the weight of the buttery cream off your palate.  We recommend it Hearty Beers and Fortified Wines.  Some local options include Maui Brewery's Coconut Porter and from the Hills of Haleakala, The Tedeschi winery's Raspberry Dessert Wine.  Although the cheese comes from a far off land, it is welcomed warmly by Maui made products and Irish alike.
