Burren Gold Cheese
The 'Burren Gold Cheese at Aillwee' story continues to be told for over 35 years. From April to October, their talented cheesemaker, makes 85 kilos of beautiful semi soft farmhouse Gouda style cheese every day. The milk that produces our award-winning cheese has, since 1985, comes from the Friesian herd at Davoren's of Caherconnell. Their cows graze on the wild Burren grasses and herbs, just a stone's throw from Aillwee Mountain. We produce six flavours of Burren Gold - Plain, Smoked, Black Pepper, Cumin, Piri Piri and Garlic & Nettle. As we guide you through the process, savour our young and creamy to our truly exquisite 1 and 2 year old mature cheeses. You will learn how cheese is pasteurised, how the curds are separated from the whey, see how we achieve that familiar Ditch inspired Gouda shape and the reason why we wax the way we do.
