Oakwood is an Irish version of Cheddar which is smoked. The Five Mile Creamery in Co Tyrone say that their finest cheddars are selected to become Oakwood, after maturing for up to 6 months. Oak logs are sustainably foraged from the local Forest of Caledon and are slowly smouldered to release rich plumes of aromatic smoke that are slowly drawn over each wheel to impart a gentle smokey flavour and robust aroma. The blend of creamy nutty cheddar and rich oaky smokiness penetrates to the heart of the cheese and is unique to each wheel. It comes in 2kg wheels or in 167 g wedges.
