Tipperary-based cheesemaker Cashel Blue has no plans to “walk away” from the US market, despite the implementation of tariffs on its products, but the next few years will be more focused on managing its reputation for when times get better.

On Wednesday night, US president Donald Trump implemented a raft of tariffs on most countries, with EU exports to the US being hit with a 20% tariff.
