Tiernan Family Farm, home of Glebe Brethan, the Award Winning Cheese
Glebe Brethan is an artisan cheese made from unpasteurised Montbeliarde cows’ milk at the Tiernan Family Farm, Dunleer, Co. Louth, Ireland. The pedigree cows graze on lush pastures and are fed cereals grown on the farm. It is a gruyere-type cheese made in 45-kilo wheels, which are matured on spruce timbers for 6-18 months. It is carefully hand-turned and salted to form a natural rind, which enhances its unique flavour.
Glebe Brethan Cheese has won the following prestigious awards:
- 2005 Double Gold at International Food Drink and Catering Exhibition (IFEX)
- 2006 Gold Medal at World Cheese Awards
- 2006 Gold Medallist and Award for Best New Cheese at British Cheese Awards
