Award-winning cheese producers target expansion in British market

CHEESE producers Helen and Robert Finnegan of Knockdrinna Farmhouse Cheese are expanding the distribution of their award-winning cheeses in Britain.

Having won the Supreme Champion award at the British Cheese Awards for its Kilree Goats cheese a few days ago, Kilkenny-based Knockdrinna was contacted yesterday by distributors for the John Lewis retail group to supply products to its chain of speciality stores throughout England.

Knockdrinna joint owner Helen Finnegan said: “We are working on the opportunities as quickly as we can. An award win like this can quickly become old news.
