A lyrical name. A lyrical cheese.

Talk about a family tree. The Iverni were an ancient people of Ireland, settling on the island around 500 BC. The name is thought to have derived from Erin, the ancient Greek mythological name for Ireland, which is itself derived from the word Éire, the name for Ireland in our indigenous Celtic language.

That's good party trivia when you're huddled around the cheese platter addicted to this elegant, complex piquant-style cheese. It's hard enough to grate over a bed of baby greens or a piping hot soup and delicious enough to slice and eat on its own.
