"Cheese is the great final frontier for the micro dairy and farm shop. Given that it is basically an everyday essential item in most Irish households, you would think it would be relatively easy to make."
"After all, we have the third-highest cheese production per capita in the world. But while about 290,000t is made here every year, it's almost all exported."
Cheese functions as an everyday essential in many Irish households. Ireland has the third-highest cheese production per capita worldwide. Approximately 290,000 tonnes of cheese are produced each year. Despite this high production, most of the cheese is exported rather than eaten domestically. The gap between production and consumption means that Irish households barely consume the cheese produced in the country. This creates a situation where cheese is a major export product while remaining underutilized as a domestic staple.
