Mull of Kintyre is hand-crafted by the notable Campbeltown Creamery. This savory cheddar is named for the remote, picturesque and lush Kintyre peninsula in Southwestern Scotland where the creamery is located. Mull is a term most commonly heard in Southwestern Scotland for the tree-bare tip of a promontory or peninsula.
Since the early 1900s, Campbeltown Creamery has been renown for producing traditional cheeses using only the purest local Scottish milk, but it also has another rather mysterious distinction. The creamery was built where two Malt Whiskey distilleries once stood. Folklore says resident angels would sample and perfect the whiskey as it aged in the old distilleries, giving rise to the term “angel’s share” for the mystifying disappearance of a portion of whiskey from each cask as it aged. But the legend lives on. It is believed that the wonderfully rich and unique flavor of Mull of Kintyre must be – in part – due to the enhancement by those same angels.
Matured for a minimum of 14 months then hand-selected at peak maturity for the fullest flavor, Mull of Kintyre is a sweet, tangy cheddar, made to a long established recipe. Naturally forming Calcium Lactate crystals can be seen on the surface of the cheese, which adds to the much sought after “cheddar crunch” and Mull of Kintyre’s unique sharp flavor.
Application: Mull of Kintyre is a great snacking cheese and ideal on a cheeseboard.
Pairing: Pairs well with light, fruity reds like Barbera D’Asti or a Cru Beaujolais and also goes well with dark beer like Porter.
