Description

Gubbeen

After salting, the cheeses are matured in carefully controlled conditions where they are regularly washed and turned, encouraging the development of a natural rind. Gubbeen has a semi-soft texture, savoury depth, and distinctive, slightly nutty, earthy character. Over time, Gubbeen cheese became one of the early standout examples of Ireland’s modern farmhouse cheese movement, helping to establish a reputation for small-scale, quality-driven production. Its evolution has remained closely tied to the family farm, with production still focused on hands-on techniques, natural rind development, and a consistent connection to the local terroir.

Meet Our Producers

Gubbeen Smokehouse

Schull, Co Cork

Gubbeen Smokehouse is a family-run artisan producer based on Gubbeen Farm in West Cork, Ireland, known for its range of traditionally crafted smoked meats and charcuterie. Founded and developed by Fingal Ferguson, the smokehouse grew out of a small-scale farm tradition and has become internationally recognised for its handmade bacon, salami, chorizo, and other cured pork products. Rooted in a philosophy of whole-animal butchery, local sourcing, and minimal intervention, Gubbeen Smokehouse combines traditional curing and smoking techniques with a strong focus on flavour, seasonality, and craftsmanship. The business remains closely connected to the wider Ferguson family farm, where cheese-making, pig farming, and vegetable growing all form part of an integrated food ecosystem.
