Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese Company Ltd

Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese Company Limited is a family‑run artisan cheese producer situated on the Lonergan farm in the rolling countryside of Knockanore, County Waterford. Drawing on over 60 years of farming heritage, the company hand‑crafts a range of raw‑milk cheddars using milk from its own pedigree herd of Friesian cows. By employing traditional cheddaring techniques alongside modern, hygienic facilities, Knockanore creates hard‑pressed, mature farmhouse cheeses that capture the rich, grassy flavours of the local pastures.

The core portfolio includes Irish Oak‑smoked raw‑milk cheddar, mature white, red and classic raw‑milk cheddars, as well as a selection of flavoured varieties such as garlic & herbs, black pepper & chives, sundried tomato & rosemary, roasted onion & caraway, and horseradish & rosemary. All cheeses are matured to develop a complex, creamy palate with earthy undertones and a nutty aroma, and are available for purchase through the company’s online shop.

Committed to sustainability, Knockanore is a verified member of the Bord Bia Origin Green programme, reflecting its dedication to environmentally responsible farming while delivering premium Irish cheese to consumers and foodservice professionals alike.
