Author Notes
Growing up in Cork, Southern Ireland, farmhouse cheeses were a staple in my home. Coolea cheese from Macroom, Co Cork was the inspiration for this recipe. The crust is made with Kerrygold Unsalted Irish Butter. Between the cheese and the butter...you are sure to sample a taste of Ireland...My Real Ireland ! —Rachel Gaffney
