Our Story
Dairygold is Ireland's largest farmer-owned co-operative.
Our unique location, known as the Golden Vale, is home to nutrient-rich pasture lands that stretch across the valleys of Munster, where our farmer shareholders produce quality-assured, naturally sourced raw materials.
-----------------------------------
Combining Tradition and Expertise
We combine our deep-rooted farming tradition with our nutritional expertise and technology to supply the global market with the highest quality premium cheese and dairy ingredients.
With headquarters in Mitchelstown, Cork, and operations in other locations in Ireland, Europe, and worldwide, Dairygold processes 1.48 billion litres of milk a year, with an annual turnover of €1.65 billion.
-----------------------------------
Structured for Success
The society is structured across three imperative divisions: food ingredients, agri-business, and retail, which drive and support our farmers and business.
Through smart investments in research, innovation, and world-leading facilities, we produce premium ingredients from our quality raw material and add value at every point in the production chain.
