Story

Imal is a popular cheese throughout the Eastern Mediterranean where it is eaten in both raw and cooked states. Although often made exclusively from ewe’s milk it can also be made from a mixture of milk from different animals. Because Ballyhubbock is made from pure sheep’s milk it has a creamery richer texture.

Producer

Ballyhubbock is a small family run farm started in 2017 by husband and wife team George and Hanna Finlay. They are dedicated to producing hand-made, small batch foods from their east Friesian sheep who produce sweet nutritious milk. Ballyhubbock is aimed at promoting the growth of small Irish farms and products and looks forward to growing the farm and business in a sustainable way.
