The Flavor Experience

Incredibly earthy and at times rustic Scottish take on cheddar. A malty, almost bready sweetness stands up against the smoky, peaty undertones.

The Story

The Isle of Mull is the second largest island of the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. Isle of Mull is made at Sgriob-Ruadh (skee-brooah) Farm which uses raw cow's milk from a herd of Friesian, Jersey, Ayrshire and Brown Swiss. The final product is as true a definition of the word 'terroir' as any cheese could ever hope to be. Isle of Mull allows you to travel to Scotland and back in a single bite.

Usage Tips

Scotchy scotch scotch. Kind of obvious I know but it works. Try it with a bourbon for something with a little more sugar to play with the acidic notes in the cheese.
