Carbery Dairy

Set up in the 1960s Carbery was from the start and continues to be one of the most innovative and successful Irish cheddar producers. They continue to produce cheese on the same site and take advantage of the great quality milk supplied by four cooperatives spanning West Cork. Each of these Co-Ops are made up of a great number of small family farms. The dairy farms of West Cork have the great benefit of a longer growing season than most parts of Ireland allowing the cattle to feed on the lush pasture for most of the year. The quality of the resulting milk is the foundation of great cheese.
