Welcome to Mitchelstown, where some of the best loved and trusted cheeses in Ireland are made… This is the Home of Good Cheese… Here we’re passionate about cheese and want to help you learn more about it.

From its history and origins, to its different flavours, its many nutritional benefits and its many uses in almost any meal, this extremely versatile food has become an integral part of Irish people’s diet. Above all, we want cheese lovers to enjoy it, whether they be kids or connoisseurs, teenagers or grown-ups… The taste of Mitchelstown cheese is a cut above the rest with everyone!

The appeal of cheese is universal in its simplicity and from its earliest beginnings it has provided a unique natural flavour and nourishment to all, whether they be prince or pauper. Today cheese has an enduring place in the heritage of Ireland and more particularly in Mitchelstown, which has a long tradition of producing the highest quality cheddar, which even in our fast paced lives reminds us of more simple times.

Like many of the world’s most wonderful gifts, cheese making was discovered by accident and has evolved into an art form over the centuries through the expertise of master cheese makers, who guided the hand of nature to give up its secret of taste and texture.

I hope you enjoy learning about Mitchelstown cheeses – the best way is to taste them of course… Because the more you learn about Mitchelstown, the more passionate about cheese you become!
