“Buffalo are much brainier than cows. After a week in the milking parlour, the herd had worked out exactly how to open the gates keeping them in. So I changed the locking mechanism and they worked out how to open that too. A cow would never have worked that out.”
As quoted by Johnny Lynch, Owner.
Milking cows had been the Lynch family business for generations until a decline in the market forced us to consider other means of making a living.
So, we turned our attention to buffaloes!
Every other cheese was being made in Ireland, from sheep milk and goat milk, but there was nobody making buffalo cheese. So, in 2009, we took the plunge and imported 31 buffaloes from Northern Italy, bringing them back to roam freely on our beautiful, lush farmlands in West Cork. Now we have over 700!
