our story in good food

Sheridans Cheesemongers began in 1995 when brothers Kevin and Seamus Sheridan set up stall in the Galway Market selling Irish Farmhouse Cheese. At a time when most Irish & European cheeses were unknown in Ireland, the idea was simple: to bring great cheese together in one place and share their stories with customers. Connections were made with the cheese producers around the country, and soon boxes of farmhouse cheeses began arriving from small farms and family dairies. Each cheese carried a sense of place; the landscape, the people who made it, and the traditions behind it. As those relationships grew, so did an understanding of the craft and care behind each cheese. Visits to farms across Ireland revealed the deep connection between the land, the animals, the makers and the food they produced. These early friendships with cheesemakers became the foundation of Sheridans Cheesemongers and continues today.
Soon they opened a shop in Galway with Irish farmhouse cheeses piled from floor to ceiling. The South Anne Street shop in Dublin city centre followed quickly and was opened in 1997. The Irish cheeses were quickly joined by their European cousins as well a range of other artisan foods including olive oils, cured meats, condiments and pasta sourced during travels in Europe. Those same connections developed with Irish cheesemakers and farmers were slowly developed with producers across Europe.
Over the next three decades Sheridans continued to open more outlets bringing farmhouse cheeses and great Artisan foods to customers across Ireland as well as sending Irish cheeses and our crackers to customers in the USA and Europe. Sheridans Cheesemongers remains a family owned and run business, led by Kevin and Rachel Sheridan along with a passionate and dedicated team.
