Kerrygold Herzhaft Cheddar cheese

Kerrygold is an iconic Irish dairy brand known globally for its butter and cheese produced from the milk of grass-fed cows. The brand was established in 1962 by the Irish Dairy Board to create a single identity for Irish dairy exports. This specific 'herzhaft' (hearty/savory) cheddar is a popular variety marketed primarily in German-speaking regions, highlighting the brand's strong international distribution networks.

The product is manufactured in Ireland, leveraging the country's temperate climate and lush pastures which contribute to the distinct golden color and rich flavor of the cheese. Kerrygold continues to be owned by Ornua Co-operative Limited, an agri-food commercial semi-state cooperative that represents Irish dairy farmers and processors, ensuring that profits return to the local agricultural community.
