Just the other day Kevin, friend and former colleague from the cheese counter in Fallon and Byrne suggested I check out a new cheese that was imminently expected. Triskel is a fine discovery on their part - nice work Rachel. Although French in its grey colouring, French in its pyramidal shape, and produced by a French lady Anna Leveque, it is wonderful to see Irish milk being used to create such a tasty cheese. As a firm but creamy goats cheese it mixes it up against the crumblier St. Tola's and Bluebell Falls. Indeed I was so impressed with Triskel that I forget take a photo before completely demolishing it. So, picture to follow!
Kevin also tells me there is a buffalo milk robiola en route to the counter too. Can't wait to try it as the mixed milk (cow, goat and sheep) robiolas are in my top three cheeses of all time. I'm a huge fan!
Hi Rory, I am organisning a Misummer Fair at Shankill Castle, Paultown, in County kilkenny on Sunday the 19th of June. We are looking for more artisan food stalls to join what will be a family event with craft and artisan food stalls selling their produce. I would be very gratefull if you could put me in touch with a few or let them know about our fair. Our intention is to promote Irish Artisan Food.

We tasted Anna Leveque's Triskel Cheeses at the Sheridan's Food Festival in Meath recently.
ReplyDeleteHer cheeses are, without doubt, the best goat's cheeses we have tasted, and the samples we brought home did not last very long at all!
