BURREN GOLD CHEESE

CHEESE

The Farmshop at AILLWEE CAVE has been described by many as a must visit hidden gem, located in the Burren Region.

In the Farm Shop, allow your Foodie self to take over as you see the location of the Aillwee Cheese Factory and witness the Gouda style cheese being made in front of you during its season – April to October.

Become lost in the Farmshop as a team member will talk you through the process of Cheese-Making and reveal the one of a kind 35-year story of Burren Gold Cheese at Aillwee.

All this, while you taste your way through the cheeses learning texture, taste and ageing within the different cheeses.

For your sweet tooth, indulge in our homemade Fudge while we talk you through all the flavours available.

Learn about the conservation work being done to protect the native Irish black bee. Taste the unique honey produced from the Wildflowers here in the Burren.

In the Farmshop we are proud to have so many locally produced products on sale from Coffee roasted within the Burren, Jams and chutneys made in Doolin to Soap and Bath salts made in Kilfenora. Taste the Burren from the comfort of your own home by ordering one of our delicious hampers.

CHEESE CLUB

Welcome to the AILLWEE CHEESE CLUB Let’s embark on a scrumptiously unique, 3-month Burren Gold Cheese journey.

As an Aillwee Cheese Club member, we will send you a cheese box every month for three months. Each cheese box includes a variety of seasoned cheeses which will be accompanied by products specifically chosen by our experienced Farm Shop Team here at Aillwee.

Furthermore, this package guides you through the story of how our Burren Gold Cheese has come to life over the last 35 years. Each box will tell its own story, with insights on the use of our traditional cheese-making methods, our smoking process, the ageing of our cheese and suggested pairing and meal ideas.

These Aillwee cheese boxes have been tailored to offer you a different experience each month, therefore at the end of your cheese club journey, you can safely call yourself a fully qualified cheese enthusiast!
