Cooleeney Farm is home to Ireland’s largest range of artisan cheeses. In 1986, Jim &
Breda Maher made their first cheese, Cooleeney, and since then have developed over

10 different cheeses using cow’s and goat’s milk. Cooleney’s new smoke house is now
in operation and they are pleased to introduce two new smokey cheeses - Smokey
Tipperary Brie and Smokey Tipperary Orchard. The dedicated cheesemakers at Cooleeney
have combined their skills with local brewer Culan at White Gypsy to develop a unique
creation, Ruby. Ruby is a craft beer washed cheese that combines the best of two
Tipperary products. All ingredients are the fruits of Tipperary, even the hops are grown
locally. Ruby is soft with a velvety texture and a distinct malt flavour.
