Our Story
Dairygold is Ireland's largest farmer-owned co-operative. Our unique location, referenced 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 our deep-rooted farming tradition with our nutritional expertise and technology, we have grown to be a global player that supplies 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 EURO 1.65 billion. The society is structured across three imperative divisions: food ingredients, agri-business, and retail, that 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. Our sustainable farming practices and position as leaders in dairy nutrition will ensure we achieve our vision that echoes through the co-operative: we will feed and nourish the growing world.
Join us on our next phase where we continue to challenge ourselves, as we carve our position on the world stage, supplying nutritional solutions for infants through to active ageing for the increasing world population, with our focus on sustainability, unrivalled quality, and full traceability for product excellence.
