Imokilly Regato PDO Protected Designation of Origin

Imokilly Regato is a cheese made from cow's milk in the region of South-East Cork, Ireland. It is produced by Dairygold Cooperative, specifically in the townland of Mogeely within the barony of Imokilly. The cheese is made from milk sourced from pasture-fed cows, which graze from March to October. This grazing period contributes to the cheese's distinctive color and flavor due to the high levels of betacarotene in the milk. The cheese is matured for 9 to 12 months and is known for its unique taste, aroma, and texture. The production process incorporates traditional cheese-making skills from the region. Imokilly Regato has a protected designation of origin (PDO) status.
