Product Description
The Cook’s Tour
Take a stroll through the green pastures of Ireland—without leaving your kitchen. Kerrygold Swiss Cheese is what happens when Alpine tradition meets Irish grass-fed magic. Smooth, nutty, and just a bit flirtatious, it melts like a dream and sings with buttery richness. It’s the kind of cheese that doesn’t shout—it hums in perfect harmony with everything around it, from rye toast to roasted pears.
The Experience
Flavor Notes: Buttery and mild at first bite, deepening into a nutty, toasted finish. Slightly sweet on the tongue, with the faintest whisper of grass and cream from Ireland’s famed pastures.
Texture: Silky and supple, with those signature Swiss eyes (holes) that catch light and melt beautifully on contact with heat.
Origin: Crafted in Ireland from the milk of cows that graze on lush, coastal fields nearly year-round. Kerrygold’s cheesemakers borrow Swiss aging techniques and marry them with Irish milk fat richness to create a cheese that’s both alpine and emerald in character.
Why Try Kerrygold Swiss Cheese?
Irish grass produces amazing milk, which, in turn makes even more phenomenal cheese.
The grasslands in the historic Munster region of what is now County Tipperary, below the Rock of Cashel, produce milk that makes a far better tasting Swiss cheese than you find coming out of most Swiss cheese makers, most of whom, these days, source milk from anywhere and everywhere, more of it coming out of Wisconsin and Texas than Switzerland.
Kerrygold ages their Swiss over 90 days and it achieves a sweet, nutty taste that is smoother, less harsh edge and much less grainy in texture than the big-brand Swiss makers. It has the taste of a great aged Swiss from Switzerland without all of the quirks.
It is absolutely my go-to Swiss for anything from sandwiches and melts to a really nice broil that I do with a filet finished with a topping of brown bubbling Swiss cheese rather than a sauce.
I list it here to give you the Jazz Chef take. It’s available at most supermarkets from gourmet specialty to Whole Foods to Walmart, and easily earns our 5-Diamond Choicestuff™ rating because, even though there are a lot of Swiss cheeses out there, Kerrygold’s ability to create a craft product in volume is really pretty admirable.
