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.
