Daru Cooleeney Farm

Daru by Cooleeney Farm is an Irish artisan cow’s milk cheese handcrafted in County Tipperary using milk from the Maher family’s grass-fed dairy herd. This natural rind cheese is flavored with garlic and carefully matured to develop a firm texture and savory depth while maintaining the rich, buttery character typical of traditional Irish farmhouse cheeses. Produced in small batches, Darú reflects Cooleeney Farm’s longstanding reputation for handcrafted specialty cheeses.

Firm yet creamy on the palate, Darú offers notes of sweet butter, toasted nuts, fresh cream, and earthy cellar balanced by aromatic roasted garlic and a gentle savory finish. The garlic remains integrated rather than overpowering, making the cheese versatile for cheeseboards, cooking, and pairing with crusty bread, charcuterie, stout, and full-bodied white wines.
