Dubliner is a brand of hard cow's milk cheese made in County Cork, Ireland. The paste is firm, pale gold, and a little crumbly, with small white crystals that crunch against the knife. The flavor sits between a mature cheddar and a sweet, nutty grating cheese. It is sold in wedges and blocks rather than as a fresh round. The brand name recalls Dublin, while the cheese itself comes from County Cork.
