Cheese & Wine At The Curragh

If you are near the Curragh this weekend in County Kildare, then consider heading to the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby for a great day out this Saturday where you should also pop over to the Good Food Ireland food fair to sample some of Ireland's fine food producers. As it happens, we wont be able to be there but some of our biscuits will be guest starring with fellow members, Cooleeney Cheese and On The Pigs Back.
This morning I met Breda Maher of Cooleeney to hand over some freshly made cheese biscuits which she is to include in a food kit especially made for the festival. No sooner had I resumed the journey back to Cork when local food store and producer - On The Pigs Back - were on the phone ordering some more cheese biscuits for their display. So if you can't find one - keep an eye out for the other!

Our cheese biscuits are a developing product line for us and we started them following a request from Pat O'Farrell of Carrigaline Cheese. The three varieties have turned out to be fine products and we often take a break here to indulge in a plate of chilli cheese biscuits, soft cheese and a sweet pepper relish or a fruit chutney. At Christmas time, they fly out the door but somehow I think we'll find a good all year round business developing with them especially in light of recent retailer interest. So watch this space!
