Cork Butter Museum

The Cork Butter Museum tells the story of butter and the dairy trade in Ireland, set in the historic Shandon area of Cork city. Once home to one of the world’s largest butter markets, this part of Cork has deep links to the trade, and the museum explores its history, methods and importance to the local and national economy. Exhibits trace the craft of butter-making from farmhouse traditions to large-scale export. It offers an unusual and informative look at a product central to Irish food heritage.
