The Imokilly Cheese Company

Cheese full of Natural Flavour.

The Imokilly Cheese Company Ltd is delighted to offer you a broad range of premium speciality cheeses with exceptional flavour characteristics, manufactured from the finest natural ingredients using generations of cheesemaking craft and expertise.

The Imokilly Cheese Company originated in the townland of Mogeely in the early part of the last century when local dairy farmers first established successful cheese making enterprises. Mogeely lies within the ancient barony of Imokilly a name derived from the ancient Gaelic name of the region, Ui MacCaille.

The barony of Imokilly and the neighbouring Fermoy and Muskerry have long been recognised as uniquely suitable for grass based dairy production and references to a cheese-making tradition in the area can be traced back to the oldest Gaelic sources.

With the success of local cheese making and other dairy enterprises came the formation of Imokilly Co-operative in the 1930's and soon the Imokilly name became synonymous with the production of a wide range of premium speciality cheeses.

Imokilly amalgamated with its neighbouring farmer cooperative in Mitchelstown in the 1970's and later became part of Dairygold the art and skill of experienced cheese makers was handed down to a younger generation of craftsmen who carried on the cheese making tradition in Mogeely.

Together, we designed recipes for local interpretations of a wide variety of traditional continental cheeses. Today the Imokilly Cheese Company produces nine separate varieties of continental style and speciality cheeses including:

• Ballycashel
• Calow
• Imokilly Cheddar
• Gran Alto
• Kloster Kaese
• Monterey Jack
• Imokilly Regato PDO

While today its modern facilities are unrecognisable from the original factory, the principles of the company remain unchanged. The Imokilly Cheese Company is still owned exclusively by local farmers and focuses on combining pure local milk supply with its artisan cheese making heritage and technical expertise to produce Ireland's most diverse range of Irish made continental cheeses available on the market today.
