Dairygold set to increase its Jarlsberg cheese production

Dairygold will create a significant number of new jobs when its proposed new Jarlsberg cheese plant becomes operational in 2019.

While the North Cork-based co-op is reticent to discuss numbers on its deal with Tine, the

Norwegian dairy company which continues to own the Jarlsberg brand, the new facility will see Dairygold’s production capacity increase from its current 3,000 tonnes of Jarlsberg to 14,000 tonnes per annum, with potential to expand further in due course.
