Durrus is a round, semi-soft cheese. It has a pale interior wiht a pinkish, yellow-gray rind. It is aged for 3 to 5 weeks to allow the flavor to mature. It has a mild and creamy taste when young, and a stronger and fruitier flavor as it ages. It has a mild to strong odor, depending on age. It should be served at room temperature, and is best with fruit such as pears, toast and as part of a fondue.

The village is the location of Cool na Long castle, built by the McCarthy (Muclagh) family, and which is now in a ruined state, despite efforts to have it taken into state charge by the late antiquarian Paddy O'Keeffe.
Durrus is located at the head of the Sheep's Head and Mizen Head Peninsulas.
