What we create here in Ireland is something that’s worth celebrating.
We have world class meat and dairy, and with talented producers on our doorsteps it’s no wonder that we’re admired from abroad.
Here are five more producers that stood out for me this week:
West Cork Pies
Fan of the rebel county? West Cork Pies are handmade from local ingredients, prime cuts of meat and are prepared freshly each week.
According to its creators, “what you’ll get from me are good quality, very tasty, products full of substantial ingredients not just cheap gravy and the odd lump of something indistinguishable. All the eggs I use are free-range and everything I make is made from the raw ingredients. I do not buy in anything ready made, that way I know, and you can trust, exactly what has gone into my products”
