Irish Farmhouse Cheesemakers were once again recognised on the international stage at the 2025 Great Taste Awards, with a number of producers earning top honours across all milk types. The awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are among the most respected in the food industry, with other 14,000 products blind-tasted this year by a panel of chefs, buyers, food writers and retailers.
This year’s results confirm what those in the industry already know: Irish Farmhouse Cheesemakers continue to lead with craftsmanship, innovation and outstanding quality.
