About Dunlop Dairy
In 1989, cheesemaking started at Dunlop Farm, and in 1990 they entered their first two cheeses, Bonnet - a hard goats milk cheese, and Swinzie - a hard sheeps milk cheese, into the IFE London International Cheese Show. They were awarded a gold and silver! The family returned home with great enthusiasm to continue cheese-making. Shortly after starting with sheep and goats, cows were introduced.
Today, they are proud to have reintroduced farmhouse cheesemaking in Ayrshire and built up a herd of Ayrshire cows and a herd of goats. With their milk, they have developed a range of fantastic award-winning cheeses. The Dunlop cheese is in the final stages of PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status.
