The first weekend of October took us to the stunning town of Dingle for the incredible Blas na hÉireann, the Irish Food Awards.The atmosphere was electric, and the love for Irish food was in full swing. We were surrounded by an incredible community of food lovers and producers, all coming together to celebrate the very best of Irish cuisine.
Moss Boss Tonic Lion’s Mane & Blueberry: A Star of the Show
Whilst our Best-Seller Moss Boss Tonic Turmeric was our finalist in the Apple Cider Vinegar Category - Our Moss Boss Tonic Lion’s Mane & Blueberry was a massive hit! Packed with brain-boosting and immune-supporting ingredients, it sold out in record time. In fact, we completely sold out of all our tonics over the weekend. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to try our products and chat with us—you made the weekend so special!
If you missed out, don’t worry—you can still find our tonics locally at:
Be sure to stock up while you can!
A Community of Irish Food Excellence
We were privileged to share the space with some of Ireland’s finest food producers, including:
- Cashel Blue Cheese: Ireland’s iconic blue cheese.
- Burren Smokehouse: Famous for their award-winning smoked salmon.
- Burren Ecotourism: Advocates for sustainable tourism in the Burren.
- Mor Taste Tam: Creators of unique craft gin.
- Beara Bitters: Handcrafted bitters from West Cork.
- Killowen Farm: Makers of the creamiest Irish yogurt.
- All About Kombucha: Refreshingly delicious kombucha brewed in Galway.
Being part of this incredible community, each bringing their passion and dedication, was an honor.
A Sustainable Festival Experience
Blas na hÉireann coincided with the Dingle Food Festival, offering visitors a true food lover’s dream. The festival also championed an impressive zero-waste strategy. Blas finalists were given reusable Go Cups, and festival-goers were encouraged to bring their own bowls. It’s initiatives like these that make events like this so special.
