St. Tola Irish Goat Cheese is known as one of the premium artisan food products in Ireland. The company's gourmet goats cheese has been handmade in the townland of Inagh, just south of the Burren, since the early 1980s.
Originally made by Meg and Derrick Gordon, the couple developed the fine quality of the cheese and helped establish a gourmet cottage industry in a rural area. In the late 90s, they were keen to retire and the business was taken over by their neighbour Siobhan Ni Ghairbhith in 1999.
Over time, Siobhán and her dedicated team have made significant developments to the family farm. Siobhán has developed the business from a local industry to an internationally recognised brand. However, the cheese is still handmade in small batches as the artisanal quality of the product is paramount.
