Burren Gold Cheese

Burren Gold Cheese

The Farmshop @ Aillwee, in Ballyvaughan, has been the production site for the award-winning Burren Gold Cheese since 1985. Milk for our farmhouse cheese is sourced from the Davoren Family Farm at Caherconell, located just 7km from us. Their Friesian Dairy Herd graze the unique rich grasses and herbs of the spectacular Burren region of North County Clare. Our cheese is produced in a sustainable way with a minimal carbon footprint. We have been awarded a UNESCO GeoFood status due to our ingredients being sourced locally, made by local people and sold in the Burren Region, Our award winning cheese is made in the months of April through to October, and the cows are milked once a day. This gives our cheese a unique flavour and texture. Our cheese is matured from 2 months up to 3 years, which delivers a range of flavours from buttery to nutty and even hints of caramel for the more mature wheels. At our stall in Kinvara Market we provide an outlet to other local cheese makers so you will have an opportunity to taste local Goat and Sheep cheeses. Website | InstagramFacebook
