BARBAVILLA DAIRY
Barbavilla Dairy is a small artisan milk-processing business based in Collinstown, Co. Westmeath. Established in 2020, we have been proudly producing high-quality dairy products ever since. Our goal is to bring the authentic taste of the Mediterranean to the Irish public—introducing flavours that, while perhaps unfamiliar, are rich in tradition and taste.
As a family-run artisanal producer, we use traditional cheese and butter-making techniques to craft a diverse range of Mediterranean dairy products. We process cow, goat, and sheep milk into specialties such as smoked Italian-style Provola, Sicilian Canestrato made from sheep’s milk, Greek-style cheese, and our indulgent Jersey Cream Butter—a true farmhouse delight.
We take great pride in sourcing our milk from well-established, reputable farms that embrace sustainable agricultural practices. Our commitment to quality is unwavering; we use only the best Irish cow, goat, and sheep milk, free from additives or preservatives, offering a truly natural and sustainable choice. This dedication has already been recognized, with two medals won at this year’s Irish Cheese Awards—an achievement we believe is just the beginning.
Sustainability is at the heart of our business. We are committed to becoming fully green within the next five years, minimizing our carbon footprint and environmental impact. We have already transitioned to recyclable packaging, generate most of our electricity through solar panels, and repurpose liquid waste from production to make ricotta cheese. Any remaining byproducts are supplied to a local pig farm as animal feed, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Being part of the SuperValu Food Academy has been an invaluable experience. The program has provided us with essential knowledge, from adopting the latest industry trends to improving customer engagement and marketing strategies. It has helped us grow as a business and refine our products, ensuring we continue to bring the best Mediterranean dairy delights to Ireland.
