Beal Organic Cheese

Beale Lodge Organic Farm, Asdee, Listowel, Co Kerry.

Kate Carmody is a sixth generation chemist and her specialist area is Bio-Chemistry, but Cheesemaking is her true love and Beal Organic Cheese came about as a result of marrying an Irish dairy farmer and settling in the north Kerry farmhouse. She began making cheese in 1987 and in 1997 the farm underwent organic conversion, with full status achieved in 2000. Beale Lodge Organic Farm is also GM free and Kate has been instrumental in the anti GM movement in Ireland and is a full time pro-active campaigner for the organic movement. Raw milk Beal Organic Cheese is a wonderful, creamy, cheddar style crumbly textured cheese, which packs a piquant, fiery explosion of taste that sets it totally apart Kate Carmody is a living legend and all her cheeses are equally celebrated.
