About Charleville

Charleville is an Irish cheese brand that says it has been made the Irish way since 1912 and that it created the world's original sliced cheddar. Kinisla, which owns the trade mark, calls it Ireland's number one cheese brand, made from Irish milk, and runs a manufacturing site in Charleville. It was one of the brands Kinisla named for solid performance in 2025, a year when its dairy consumer foods revenue grew by about 11 per cent.
