About the Cheese
Templegall is an exceptional Alpine-style cheese crafted in the lush countryside of County Cork, Ireland.
With its smooth, mouth-filling texture, Templegall enchants the palate with notes of brown butter and roasted nuts, creating an irresistibly rich and savoury flavour.
Made exclusively during the summer months, and only when the milk achieves perfect quality, this cheese embodies the very essence of artisan cheesemaking. Inspired by the French classic Comté, Templegall matures for a minimum of nine months, developing a delightful complexity with hints of caramel, a gentle tang, and a sharp, mature finish that lingers enticingly.
Its excellence has not gone unnoticed, earning it the Supreme Champion title at The Artisan Cheese Awards, gold at the 2023 Irish Cheese Awards, and silver at the 2023 World Cheese Awards.
About the Cheesemaker
Templegall is born from the collaboration of Dan Hegarty and the talented French cheesemaker Jean-Baptiste Enjelvin at Hegarty’s Cheese in Whitechurch, County Cork.
Jean-Baptiste brings the soul of Franche-Comté’s cheesemaking tradition to the heart of Ireland, infusing local craftsmanship with continental expertise. Together, they select only the finest cow’s milk from local farms, meticulously ensuring each batch meets their exacting standards.
Their dedication to quality and innovation has swiftly established Templegall as one of Ireland’s most exciting cheeses, earning acclaim both locally and internationally. A true testament to artisan dedication, Templegall reflects the passion and skill of its makers, celebrating the beauty of tradition intertwined with modern craftsmanship.
Please note that this cheese contains Lysozyme (EGG).
