Top cheesemakers from around Europe set for congress in Cork

Sustainability in farmhouse dairy will be top of the agenda when the sector’s leaders meet for the fifth European Farmhouse and Artisan Cheesemakers Congress at University College Cork on April 26.

The Association of Irish Farmhouse Cheesemakers is hosting the event, its first time in Ireland, with industry stakeholders from Ireland and EU member states meeting to share knowledge and initiate collaborations across the sector.

Along with the sustainability debate, participants will discuss the sector’s issues, such as environmental impact, farmhouse production best practice, and the market opportunity for farmhouse dairy.
