Dairy Foods in July had the opportunity to visit Ireland and several of its dairy processors, thanks to an invitation from Bord Bia, the Irish Dairy Board. Our visit lasted four days, with three spent traveling by bus throughout the country. Ireland truly earns its nickname of the “Emerald Isle,” as we instantly noticed the deep green color of the grass everywhere we went.
The trip entailed seeing two big cities, Dublin and Cork, as well as several smaller towns, including Bandon and Portlaoise (pronounced port-leash). The July trip was a great way to beat the U.S. heat, as Ireland temperatures hovered around 60 degrees throughout our stay. The trip was highlighted by not only seeing thousands of cows but also spending time with about 250 of them.
