During the summer of 2017 we made our first batches of Mayo Summer Cheese which is now known as BARR RUA named after the townland we live and work in - An Barr Rua translates as “The Red Top” referring to the red coloured iron rich topsoil in our area.  This is a floral & nutty tasting hard cheese based on a Swiss Mountain Cheese recipe.  Full wheels weigh around 5kg.  We mature Barr Rua in our cellar for a minimum of 3 months.

ZING is a flavoured soft cheese, also based on a recipe from the South of Switzerland, it is available in Natural, Black Pepper & Garlic and Apricot & Almond. Depending on demand and season we also make other flavours. The Natural and Pepper & Garlic are eaten in Switzerland, but the others are our own twist on the recipe!

Our newest product. Following the Swiss tradition of ripening fresh cheeses with wine, we decided to keep it local and mature fresh cheese with beer from micro-breweries in our area.  The resulting mini rolls have a velvety  rind, with a delicate, succulent interior and an explosion of flavour!!!
