Last updated

Milleens is an Irish farmhouse cheese, [1] made on a farm on the outskirts of Eyeries, County Cork, Ireland. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

First made in 1976, Milleens was originally produced by Norman and Veronica Steele, [7] [8] and is now produced by their son. Milleens cheese matures within four to ten weeks after it is produced. It is sold in large and small rounds - the latter called "dotes" - and with a washed rind. [9]

In 1997, it was the winner of the Supreme Champion at the British Cheese Awards held at Chelsea Barracks. [10]
