Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese

Knockanore Cheese is handmade on the Lonergan family farm in County Waterford, Ireland, using raw milk from their pedigree herd of Friesian cows. The Lonergan family have been farming in the lush rolling countryside of Knockanore for over 60 years. The cheese is a hard-pressed, mature farmhouse cheese made in the cheddar style. The raw milk adopts the flavours of the local pasture on which the cows graze producing a cheddar cheese with a complex creamy flavour, earthy tones and a nutty aroma.

We have also developed a flavoured range of pasteurised cheddars which we service the Irish & EU markets with with notable combinations such as Garlic & Herb and Black Pepper & Chives. We have seen growth in this area of our business in recent years as customers look for a wide variety of flavour profiles.

We also offer services such as cutting & packing for bulk wheels of cheese (cut into wedges of any weight requirement) and also contract smoking using our purpose built modern smokehouse.
