Our CRAFT

Step One

SHEEP

Here in Ireland we are lucky enough to have some of the lushest grass in the world, thanks to our geographical location on the edge of the Atlantic. Friesland ewe’s enjoy this grass throughout the fields and crevices of the island.

CRAFT

Sheep’s cheese has been made for centuries on the continent, however it wasn’t until 1988 when Sean and Deidre pioneered Ireland’s first sheep’s cheese, that Ireland could lay claim to its very own Sheep’s Cheese. The cheese crafting process takes over 24hrs to complete before the cheese is matured for 3 to 15 months. Like a fine wine, it gets better with age.
