Knockanore Cheese

Knockanore Cheese is a second generation farmhouse cheese producer, founded in 1987, where we produce raw milk cheddar using only the milk supplied from our own family farm of 160 Friesian cows. We produce a range of handmade mature farmhouse cheddars which are all matured on our production site for an average of 8 months – The cheese is carefully made from rich, full cream, raw cow’s milk, using traditional cheddaring techniques. 

We only use natural ingredients with only salt & cultures being added to our own raw milk in order to produce our mature cheeses. The only other addition is the smoking process to produce our oakwood smoked cheddar where our cheese is naturally smoked using sustainably sourced oakwood chips in our purpose-built smokehouse – This gives the cheese its rich smoky flavour and colour.

Since 1987 we have grown gradually and now work with retailers across Ireland to provide consumers with the best products Irish Farmhouse Cheese has to offer – Including Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Aldi & Lidl.
