A premium Irish artisan cheese.

St Tola Goat Cheese is known as one of the premium artisan products in Ireland. The finest gourmet goat cheese, it has been handmade in Inagh, just south of the Burren in County Clare, since 1978.

The cheeses were originally made by Meg and Derrick Gordon, who developed their fine quality and helped establish a gourmet cottage industry in a rural area. In the late 1990s they were keen to retire, and the business was taken over by their neighbour Siobhán Ní Gháirbhith in 1999.

Over time, Siobhán and her dedicated team have made significant developments to the family farm, taking the business from a local industry to an internationally recognised brand. Our cheese is still handmade in small batches, because the artisan quality of the cheese is paramount.

St Tola Irish Goat Cheese is made by Inagh Farmhouse Cheese Ltd and is a member of CAIS and the Slow Food movement. We are also part of the Burren Food Trail, and just a few miles from the Wild Atlantic Way. The farm welcomes French students every year from ESA College in Angers and Purpan INP in Toulouse.

St Tola has been supported by Bord Bia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Clare County Enterprise Board, Limerick Institute of Technology and LEADER, the National Rural Network.
