Award-winning NI Cheesemaker Creates Baby Buck

Mike’s Fancy Cheeses’ first cheese, Young Buck, was Northern Ireland’s frst raw milk cheese and an award-winning blue matured for four months.

The new cheese, Baby Buck, is instead matured for around a month and is also made using raw milk from a local dairy farm to create a “creamy cheese without the blue notes [of Young Buck].”

“Baby Buck is also made from raw milk and is a response from chefs interested in exploring different flavours. It’s a very creamy and rich cheese for people who want an alternative to a blue cheese.”
