Condensed Milk Company of Ireland
The Condensed Milk Company of Ireland was a significant player in the dairy industry in Ireland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was established to produce and distribute condensed milk, a product that became increasingly popular due to its longer shelf life compared to fresh milk.
History[edit | edit source]
The Condensed Milk Company of Ireland was founded in the late 19th century, during a period when the dairy industry in Ireland was undergoing significant changes. The company capitalized on the growing demand for condensed milk, which was used both as a substitute for fresh milk and as an ingredient in various recipes.
Operations[edit | edit source]
The company operated several factories across Ireland, where fresh milk was processed into condensed milk. These factories were strategically located in regions with abundant dairy farms, ensuring a steady supply of raw milk. The production process involved evaporating a significant portion of the water content from the milk and adding sugar to preserve it.
Products[edit | edit source]
The primary product of the Condensed Milk Company of Ireland was sweetened condensed milk, which was sold in cans. This product was widely used in households and by the food industry for baking and cooking. The company also produced unsweetened condensed milk, which was used in various industrial applications.
Impact on the Dairy Industry[edit | edit source]
The establishment of the Condensed Milk Company of Ireland had a profound impact on the Irish dairy industry. It provided a reliable market for dairy farmers, contributing to the economic stability of rural communities.

Decline and Legacy[edit | edit source]
The demand for condensed milk began to decline in the mid-20th century with the advent of refrigeration and the increased availability of fresh milk. The Condensed Milk Company of Ireland eventually ceased operations, but its legacy lives on in the history of the Irish dairy industry.
