I call to Mark's stall in both Mahon and Midleton and think I've sampled most on your list, except for the Gabriel. West Cork's Manning's Emporium, who also run a stall in the Blarney Farmer's Market, also have a good, selection, including Coolea, and then you have St Gall and a whole basketful of others from the Fermoy Natural Cheese Co. The list goes on - just as well there is 365 days in the year.Cork Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933392103405339530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986467256420488584.post-20156621979402414462011-01-03T16:08:29.540+00:002011-01-03T16:08:29.540+00:00Hey Billy,

You missed out on the chance to sample the amazing Gabriel, made just outside Schull by Bill & Sean. An amazing hard cheese, by some of the most interesting people I have ever met. Also Crozier, made by the wonderful Cashel Blue people, but with sheeps milk. Creamy, blue and often too nice to make it back from the market in Blackrock to Douglas cos we eat it all in the car. <br /><br />Gubeen cant be left off a cheeseboard either in my opinion, a little rubbery, but with a superb nuttieness to it. Finally, Milleen's or Hegarty's cheddar are both wonderful. Mark from the market in Blackrock and I think Mahon Point has most of the above, most of the time.<br />All the best, <br />Jonathan<br />@JLM_corkJonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834529664319403035noreply@blogger.com
