Dubliner is a sweet mature cheese (aged over twelve months) manufactured by Carbery and marketed internationally under the auspices of the Irish Dairy Board under the Kerrygold brand. The cheese is named after the city of Dublin, although it is made in Cork. It has a robust tangy flavour; it pairs well with apples and grapes, or a well-balanced red wine. It combines the sharpness of mature cheddar, the nuttiness of Swiss, and piquant bite of Parmesan. The cheese was developed by Irishman John Lucey and this secret recipe is exclusively held by the company Carbery. Dubliner may contain natural calcium lactate crystals, these appear as small white pieces. The flavour of Dubliner cheese is best preserved by keeping it in a well-sealed container and refrigerated. It does not do well after freezing. To maximize the flavor, pull the Dubliner cheese from the refrigerator an hour before serving to allow it to warm to room temperature.
