A fantastic local business offering their products online is award winning Coolattin Cheddar who have been producing top quality milk from their pasture fed cows for over twenty years. 🧀
Made on Tom Burgess’ family farm in the Wicklow Hills, Coolattin Mature Raw Milk Cheddar is one of only a handful of authentic cheddar style Irish farm cheeses. It is a seasonal cheese, made in the summer when the cows are grazing clover-rich pasture, the ideal diet for cheese processing milk. During this time the unique combination of enzymes & proteins interact to create a gourmet experience of aroma, texture and full flavour.
Visitors will find Tom’s cheese countrywide at farmers’ markets, at specialist shops nationwide including Malone Fruit Farm & Farm Shop, Ballon, and Ward’s, Tullow.
Coolattin Cheddar is one of Ireland’s longest established and most popular farmhouse cheeses – one of the most enduring success stories of the renaissance of artisan cheese making in Ireland.
