Mogeely to be cheese centre of excellence

Mogeely in East Cork is on course to become a key location for Norway’s largest food manufacturer to grow its exports.

Earlier this year, plans for Norway’s TINE dairy co-op to build a new cheese factory in Ireland were announced, and Norwegian agriculture minister Jon Georg Dale and Tine chief executive Ms Hanne Refsholt visited Mogeely last week to view the site where a TINE/Dairygold Co-op partnership will develop the facility beside Dairygold’s existing cheese plant.

Dairygold has been manufacturing Jarlsberg Cheese on behalf of TINE at Mogeely since 2013.
