Cooleeney
Cow and goats cheeses from the heart of Tipperary
Cooleeney farm is a fourth generation family owned and run company, established in 1986 by the Maher family. Nestled in the heart of Tipperary’s prime dairy country, they produce a range of cow and goats milk cheeses from their own herds. It’s the combination of the naturally peaty soil, perfect climate and clover rich grass which enables their Friesian herd to produce the finest quality milk for their artisan cheeses.
