About Orla Cheese

Orla is a semi-hard cheese from Ireland, made with pasteurized sheep's milk. It has a distinct orange color and a washed rind that contributes to its earthy, strong aroma. The flavor profile is salty and sharp, making it a bold choice for cheese lovers. Orla's texture is firm yet slightly pliable, typical of brined cheeses. This cheese is often enjoyed on its own or paired with robust foods that can match its intense flavor. It's a great addition to cheese boards or used as a flavorful ingredient in cooking.
