New book to illustrate growth of cheesemaking in Ireland

FARMHOUSE cheese producers will be given a lift tomorrow with the launch of a book illustrating the sector’s growth in recent years.

Farmhouse Cheeses of Ireland, by Glynn Anderson and John McLaughlin, is an in-depth guide to the farmhouse cheeses of Ireland. Its authors say it is the first book to feature every locally produced farmhouse cheese in Ireland.

Published by Collins Press, it will be launched by Senator Fergal Quinn at 1pm tomorrow in the Food Innovation Centre at Innovate Solutions, Dublin. The book contains detailed descriptions of each cheese and its makers, along with extra information on cheesemaking and the Irish cheese industry.
