MILLEENS CHEESE LIMITED

Milleens Cheese Ltd is a family‑run artisan dairy that has been crafting the iconic Milleens cheese for half a century. Based on the rugged Beara Peninsula in South‑West Ireland, the company produces a soft, washed‑rind, whole‑milk cheese from the milk of Friesian cows that graze the mountains and pastures of West Cork.

The cheese is celebrated for its rich, floral and sweet flavours, a firm‑to‑creamy texture and a distinctive pink‑orangey rind – qualities praised in the Specialist Cheese Makers’ Association guide. Each wheel continues to ripen and soften for up to three months after production, and is best enjoyed after being refrigerated and allowed to reach room temperature.

Milleens Cheese supplies discerning consumers, boutique retailers and the hospitality trade with a genuine farmhouse product that remains the longest‑established Irish cheese of its kind. Their story, shared through Instagram and other channels, underscores a commitment to tradition, quality and the unique terroir of the Beara Peninsula.
