The Little Milk Company and Cashel Farmhouse Cheese win big in Paris' Salon du Fromage

Bord Bia has saluted the spectacular success of The Little Milk Company and Cashel Farmhouse Cheese in taking top honours at France’s premier cheese and dairy products event, the Salon du Fromage in Paris.

The two artisan cheese makers from Munster won the Coup de Coeur prize, awarded to eight exceptional cheeses, following a blind tasting by a jury of nine chefs and cheesemongers. The winners were selected from 72 entries from 100 producers.

Based in Cappagh, Co Waterford, the Little Milk Company, which was formed in 2008, involves 10 family-run organic dairy farms in Munster and Leinster.
