Newmarket Co-Operative

Glen Foods packages and distributes Newmarket Co-Operative's finest cheddar cheese under the "Glenlara" label. Newmarket Co-Operative has a long and fine tradition of quality cheese making and is a top quality Irish Dairy Product. Looking back over the last five decades, it is clear that advances in technology have resulted in dramatically transformed methods of cheese making. In contrast, however, the passing of time has brought little change to the rich meadows of Southern Ireland, which continue to be amongst the greenest and most environmentally intact in Europe.

It is from this natural, pollution free setting that Newmarket Co-Operative Creameries produce top quality cheddar cheese. Fresh milk is collected every day from farmers in the area, and brought to the production facility. Driven by the experience and skills of a highly motivated team, a range of cheddars are developed under the most hygienic conditions. Through careful selection and maturation, flavours and textures are created to suit even the most discerning customers.

Carefully monitored maturation of the cheese ensures a superior-tasting product every time. Quality management systems serve as an additional guarantee to customers of the implementation of internationally recognised quality standards.

Cheese is regarded as one of nature's finest and most complete sources of nutrition. Newmarket Co-Operative Creameries continue to play a major role in preserving the treasured, age-old tradition of cheese making. This has resulted in the achievement of many national and international awards for their products and quality standards, including a number of top awards achieved recently at the IFEX awards in Dublin.

Our Secret?

Combining the finest quality milk with leading-edge production methods and facilities guided by the skills and expertise of a dedicated workforce.

The Result?

A superior tasting cheddar and an unsurpassed legacy for quality.
