Finalist in Blas na hEireann Awards 2022 Dunnes Divine

Finalist in Blas na hEireann Awards

Great Taste Award 1 star Classic Log

This impressive log has an attractive and textured exterior. The interior is fresh and white and quite inviting. It has a delicate lactic aroma, soft crumbly texture and a light fruity acidity combined with subtle evidence of the goat milk. An impressive big log of cheese, sparkling white. Extremely creamy yet fresh and lively, soft and crumbly, not chalky. A definite but unaggressive goat flavour. Citrussy finish.

NEW! Supervalu Best Local Producer Award

Supervalu
On presenting the award, Supervalu complimented St. Tola on representing all that is good about a local producer, providing employment in a rural area, supporting other local industries, putting money back into the local economy, and providing a range of organic goat cheeses that are unique to the locality and environment. They also said that St. Tola had worked closely with Supervalu, listening to what they and their customer wanted and expanded the range of cheese to suit these requirements.

The Bridgestone Guides 2011

The Bridgestone Guides
"These cheeses have soul, but they have more than that: they have the passion and the dedication of the cheesemaker in every bite. In this sense, the St Tola cheeses are nothing less than a life force."
