History

Back in the early 1980s, Eamonn Lonergan had a dream of setting up a cheese company.

With the support of his parents Ned & Mai, sister Beatrice and Husband David on their dairy farm, he began to research the farmhouse cheese industry. After many years of research & product development that dream became a reality. Now nearly two decades later with the help of his wife Patricia and their children Aisling, Orla, Lisa, Edward & Joanne, their cheese is sold all over the world.
 

Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese is carefully manufactured from full cream cows milk produced from the Lonergan Pedigree Friesian herd. It is then turned into wheels of the finest cheese in the world. Some of these wheels are then carefully selected and smoked, using a blend of oak hardwood in a traditional smoking kiln. The oak is locally sourced in their neighbouring heritage town of Lismore. This smoked cheese is available as a delicious full wheel or in
pre-packed wedges. All of their cheeses are also available with a full range of herbs & spices.

Knockanore Cheese is free from artificial flavouring & preservatives. Every drop of milk used comes from the Lonergan Pedigree herd of Friesian cows.
