St Tola
St. Tola Irish Goat Cheese is known as a premium food product in Ireland. The company's gourmet cheese has been handmade in the townland of Inagh, south of the beautiful Burren area in Co. Clare, since the early 1980s. Owner Siobhan Ni Ghairbhith has made significant developments to the business over the years – developing it from a local industry to an internationally recognised brand. However, the cheese is still handmade as the artisanal quality of the product is paramount.
The St. Tola range includes crottins, logs, hard cheese, Greek-style cheese, and soft cream cheese. The cheese range includes cheeses made from both raw and pasteurised goats milk from the family farm.
