Kylemore Farmhouse Cheese crafts a truly Irish farmhouse cheese, made directly on their family farm at the foothills of the Slieve Aughty Mountains in County Galway. All cheese comes from their grass‑fed pedigree dairy herd, a “closed herd” of Holstein Friesian cows that have grazed on lush Irish pasture for over 60 years.
The cheese itself is inspired by traditional Swiss‑Alps mountain cheeses, with a natural washed rind and a rich, buttery‑nutty flavour developed over at least five months of maturation. It’s produced only during the milking season (April–October), ensuring each wheel reflects the seasonal character of Ireland’s green pastures.
Beyond cheese, Kylemore offers more than flavour, the farm delivers full traceability, sustainable practices (low‑carbon footprint, farm‑to‑fork), and a genuine commitment to rural livelihoods. Visitors can also book farm and cheese tours, complete with tasting sessions and traditional afternoon tea served in their 200‑year‑old farmhouse, making it more than a food producer, it’s a small‑scale food heritage experience.
Kylemore Farmhouse Cheese stands for authentic Irish craftsmanship, seasonal quality, and sustainable dairy farming rooted in tradition, a cheese with story, provenance, and place.
We’ll be back in touch as soon as we are ready to officially launch!
