Durrus Farmhouse Cheese

Durrus Farmhouse Cheese is a renowned cheese-making operation located in the countryside near Bantry, producing some of Ireland's finest artisan cheeses. Founded in the 1970s, the farm uses traditional methods and milk from local cows to create a range of cheeses, most notably the Durrus, a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese with a creamy texture and nutty flavor. Visitors can stop by the farm shop to sample and purchase cheeses, as well as other local products like chutneys and crackers. The farm itself is set in a scenic valley, and while the production area is not always open for tours, the shop provides a warm welcome and insight into the cheese-making process. Durrus cheese has won multiple awards and is a staple on many Irish cheese boards. A visit here is a must for food lovers exploring West Cork's culinary scene.
