From Small Town to Big Time

The Irish Dairy Board was established in 1961 to band together a handful of small dairy farms throughout Ireland and harness their collective expertise. That fateful year resulted in the creation of the Kerrygold brand, a premium line of crafted cheese and butter made all across Ireland but sold under one brand name.

Now, more than 40 years later, Kerrygold sales are nearly $2 billion with products available in over 80 countries. We still adhere to the same small farm approach and still rely on independent dairy farmers to supply the finest milk in the world. It's why each one of our products really are a little slice of Ireland itself.
