Another Sunday, another short round-up of some of Ireland’s best food producers!
Celebrating local produce, this week I’m looking at five more companies that caught my eye:
Kearney Blue Cheese
A deliciously creamy cheese with a balanced blue flavour throughout, Kearney Blue is definitely one for the cheeseboard.
Based in Northern Ireland, the cheese itself has one numerous awards including Best Irish Cheese, Gold medal at the International Cheese Awards, Nantwich 2011.

Oldfarm
Irish free-range pork and bacon – need I say more? Oldfarm breed and raise Saddleback and Gloucester Old Spot pigs and also some cross-breed pigs.
Their happy pigs have access to the outdoors all year round and live on a diet that is totally gmo-free! Delicious? I think so.
