Cooleeney Camembert is a handcrafted Irish soft cheese produced by the Maher family in Co. Tipperary. Made from cow’s milk and vegetarian rennet, this mould-ripened cheese draws inspiration from the classic French Camembert tradition while showcasing the exceptional quality of Irish farmhouse dairy.

Beneath its delicate bloomy white rind lies a pale golden paste that matures beautifully over time. When young, the centre retains a slight chalkiness, gradually softening into a rich, creamy texture as the cheese ripens. The flavour is buttery and indulgent, with notes of fresh cream, woodland mushrooms and subtle earthy complexity balanced by a smooth, lingering finish.

Produced using traditional artisan methods, Cooleeney Camembert is an elegant and approachable cheese that shines on cheeseboards and pairs beautifully with crusty bread, fruit preserves and crisp white wines. Its creamy texture and refined flavour have made it one of Ireland’s most admired soft cheeses.
