WHAT MATTERS TO US

Farmer Owned

Tirlán is Ireland’s largest farmer-owned co-operative, supplying dairy and grain ingredients to customers worldwide. Tirlán’s Irish operations process approximately 3 billion litres of milk each year.

Our dairy farmers continue a long family farming tradition while adopting new practices, research and technologies to help maintain quality standards across our dairy production.

Grass-Fed

Ireland’s temperate climate and abundant rainfall support the growth of grass throughout much of the year, making grass an important part of the diet of dairy cows on Irish farms.

Many Irish dairy farms operate pasture-based systems, where cows graze outdoors during the grazing season. This approach forms part of Ireland’s long-established dairy farming tradition and contributes to the production of milk used in a wide range of dairy products.

Ireland’s dairy sector is built on generations of farming knowledge and expertise. Combined with a strong focus on farm management, animal care and milk quality standards, this supports the continued development of Ireland’s dairy industry.

Quality Assurance

Avonmore Professional operates a quality assurance programme with traceability systems in place throughout the production process. Milk undergoes a series of quality and food safety checks from farm to finished product to help ensure it meets defined standards. Our UHT production facility uses modern processing technology to support the consistent production of milk and cream products. These processes are designed to help maintain product quality, safety and shelf stability throughout their intended shelf life.

Proudly Sourced

Avonmore Professional’s team of quality advisors works with farmer suppliers to support farm management practices and quality standards across the supply chain.

Avonmore Professional operates a traceability system that enables milk batches to be traced back to supplying farms. Samples are collected as part of the milk collection process and tested through our quality assurance programme, including analysis by a CLAS-accredited laboratory.

The Quality team works closely with farmers to support quality standards and continuous improvement across milk production and supply.

Sustainability

We work with nature in a unique system and sustainability is at the core of all our decisions. Our grass-based farming system where our cows graze outdoors for most of the year gives us a natural advantage.

We are proud to introduce Living Proof, Tirlán’s commitment to farming, food and the future. It is our sustainability promise for a better way and a better world for generations to come.
