Milleens is one of Ireland’s most iconic artisan cheeses, handcrafted on the Beara Peninsula in Co. Cork from cow’s milk and traditional animal rennet. Widely regarded as a pioneer of modern Irish farmhouse cheesemaking, this legendary washed-rind cheese has been celebrated for its distinctive character and exceptional flavour for decades.

Beneath its rustic washed rind lies a soft, creamy paste that becomes increasingly supple and luxurious as the cheese matures. Rich buttery notes are balanced by savoury depth, earthy complexity and subtle smoky undertones, creating a flavour profile that is both bold and beautifully refined. As Milleens ripens, its aromas and flavours intensify while retaining the balance and elegance that have made it a favourite among cheese lovers.

Produced using traditional methods and carefully matured to develop its unique personality, Milleens is a standout addition to any cheeseboard. It pairs wonderfully with artisan crackers, crusty bread, cider and full-bodied white wines, showcasing the very best of Irish farmhouse cheesemaking.

Flavour Profile: Rich and buttery with savoury depth, earthy notes, subtle smokiness and a long, complex finish.
