Karst is delicate and creamy, with fresh and lemony notes. It is the sister cheese to St Tola and shares a similar flavour profile.
This cheese intentionally has a thin mould rind. Because of this, wild moulds- spots of blue, green and grey moulds, may develop on the surface during maturation. They are perfectly safe to eat and do not negatively affect the flavour of the cheese.

Inagh, Co Clare
Karst was developed in late 2021 in collaboration with Neal's Yard Dairy.
Karst is produced by former-schoolteacher-turned-cheesemaker Siobhán Ní Gháirbhith and her small team in the town of Inagh just south of The Burren in County Clare. Made with goat's milk from the farm's herd of Saanen and Toggenburg goats, it is a fairly loose textured, mild and creamy.
We have enjoyed selling St Tola for many years but the large format makes it difficult for some people to handle. In response to this, we proposed the development of a new smaller format cheese that shared many of the other characteristics of St Tola. Our initial taste trials involved versions with and without ash. Our sales and maturation teams preferred the appearance and flavour of the ashed versions. Karst is named after the unique limestone formations typical of The Burren. We continue to provide feedback on this cheese, a process helped by the farm's practice of keeping samples back from each batch they send us to taste alongside us.
