Cahill’s Irish Cheddar

Meg and I have been enjoying a small wedge of Cahill’s Irish Cheddar for the past week. It looks a little strange and is made with Guinness Stout, but it’s actually quite darn tasty (and fun to look at after the initial what the…?). We first tasted it at Meg’s parents’ place last year and were happy to run across it at Gourmet Garage in the Village. I’m not sure where else it is available in NYC (or in other places), but if you’re a fan of the salted, pressed milk curd (and who’s not?), you might want to give your favorite cheese shop a jingle and enquire after their supply of Cahill’s Irish Cheddar.
