About
Elizabeth Bradley milks dairy sheep on her farm at Ballybrommel, near Fennagh in the middle of the county, and turns the milk into a hard cheddar-style cheese and a pecorino-style one, each matured for up to two years. In season there is also sheep's-milk yoghurt and ricotta, and a small amount of washed-curd cow's cheese made with milk from a neighbouring farm. You will not find a shop at the farm: the cheese is sold at Carlow Farmers' Market on a Saturday, alongside a wider counter of Irish farmhouse cheeses, and visits to the working farm are by appointment only.
