Fivemiletown Creamery’s Ballyoak is an Irish cheese like no other. It’s Europe’s first smoked brie! Its atypical taste has already proved a great success, winning a prize at the World Cheese Awards! This Irish pride has made it an increasingly fashionable cheese!
Ballyoak is a novelty that gourmets are snapping up: they appreciate its woody sweetness, which contrasts wonderfully with its smoky crust.
On the outside, it is slightly pinkish, while on the inside, its creamy, melting texture is lighter.
Delicious on its own, with bread and cheese, crackers or fruit, it can also be a real delight when baked in the oven and drizzled with honey.
Enjoy it with freshly baked bread, if possible made in Ireland, to get the perfect bite and appreciate the expertise of Irish cheese-makers!
Ballyoak can be found in Irish cheese shops, in some supermarkets, and of course at the producer’s own premises (in Fivemiletown, County Tyrone, at Fivemiletown Creamery). An excellent product of the Irish soil, to marry with the best of Irish gastronomy!
