Case Study Background

Bo Rua Farm – Background

We produce a range of award-winning cheese on the family farm, BóRuaFarm, in County Cork using milk from our herd of Montbeliardeand Friesian cows, which are tended by my husband Tom. Named in honor of the rust-colouredMontbeliardes(BóRuais Irish for ‘Red Cow’), the cheese is made from March to October when the cows are out on pasture
