Institutions join forces in €1.3m cross-border cheese research study

Five academic and research institutions are joining forces to share knowledge in a new all-island cheese study.

The €1.3m National Cheese Research Programme 2015 will harness food science expertise from both sides of the border to ensure the island of Ireland is well placed to capitalise on the post-milk quota era.

The project will be coordinated by Teagasc, which believes that an integrated approach to the challenges in cheese research are critical for the future development of this food industry.
