Béal Organic Cheese is the first organic cheddar cheese in Ireland. The cheese won a silver medal at the World Cheese awards in 2009.[1]
Béal Organic Cheese is handmade from cow's milk. It originates from the Béal Lodge Dairy Farm, a small family-run dairy farm of Holstein cows on 56 acres located by the mouth of the River Shannon in Listowel, County Kerry in Ireland.
Kate Carmody began making cheese in 1987, after her mother presented her with a gift consisting of a cheese press and a book on making cheese. In 1997, she began the process of converting to organic production. She achieved full organic status in 2000, becoming the first organically produced Irish Cheddar cheese.[2][3]
There are three products in the Béal Organic Cheese range, although the availability of the cheese is subject to seasonal availability:[4]
- Béal Mild Organic Irish Cheddar is made from pasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet.
- Béal Handmade Mature Organic Cheddar is made from pasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet.
- Béal Raw Milk Mature Organic Cheddar is made from raw unpasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet, and takes up to nine months to fully mature.
Awards
Béal Organic Cheese has won numerous national and international awards, including a silver medal at the 2009 World Cheese Awards for Béal Organic Cheddar Cheese Unpasteurised.[1]
