“You could say blessed are the cheese makers, but among ourselves we say mad are the cheese makers” jokes Siobhán Ní Ghairbhith, cheesemaker at St. Tola Irish Goat Cheese, who is also involved in CÁIS, Irish Farmhouse Cheesemaker Association and the Irish Raw Milk Cheese Presidia. Siobhán tells us all about the Irish farmhouse cheese industry, which is far from mad!
Although in existence for centuries it was an enterprising group of dairy farmers in the 1970’s who spearheaded the Irish Farmhouse Cheese evolution. Siobhán tells us how Irish cheese stands apart from our European counterparts where the quality of our land, pasture and milk along with Irish cheese makers' creativity, confidence and innovation has brought us to where we are today. We speak about the seasonality in cheesemaking, the cost of producing genuine food and what we should look out for with cheese labelling.
We are encouraging everyone to cheese the day and try out some of the many wonderful flavours of the 200 different Irish farmhouse cheeses from 60 cheesemakers in 32 counties across Ireland.
