Roundstone Bakehouse


Roundstone Bakehouse is a pioneering Irish bakery respecting the traditions of our ancient past to create great Irish bread.


Ireland has always been connected, never isolated. We are explorers, adventurers, seekers of knowledge. We live on the edge of Europe but at the centre of creative thinking.

We are part of an outlooking Atlantic maritime community. Sharing our food, our culture and our ancient wisdom, handed down from generation to generation. We are contributing to shaping the future of food for today and tomorrow’s discerning consumers.

We take our inspiration from the depth of knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors, from those who pioneered the cultivation of grains and the production of bread. We look to the root, to the source, as our guide.

From the very beginnings of cereal production in the Levant region 10,000 years ago, to the gradual spread of grain to our Irish Shores 4,000 years later, we have searched out, and perfected, the milling of our ancestral ancient grains: einkorn, emmer, spelt, rye, khorasan, barley...

These are the grains that triggered food surplus and civilisation as we know it.

We have been baking bread in Ireland since at least the Bronze Age, the cereal cultivation ridges still visible under the bogs of Belderrig in North Mayo. Roundstone Bakehouse is a celebration of this ancient tradition.

A tradition expressed in the taste, texture, nutrition and sustainability of our Bread. Stoneground flour, stone oven, our unique sour dough culture. Bread as it should be.

Solstice Premium Irish Ice Cream


Ice Cream's Finest Moment


Unrivalled taste / created with regenerative farming and dairy practices at the forefront / high melt point / all natural ingredients.


Solstice is a truly beautiful seasonal ingredient-based premium ice cream inspired by the mysticism of the equinoxes and solstices. Designed and created in Odaios Co-lab by Cyril Borie and Erik Van der Veken, our ice creams are a celebration of Irish grass-fed creamy milk, native wild Irish honey and strawberries, Valrhona chocolate and caramel and the finest Madagascan vanilla.


Solstice has ten core variants with taste, seasonality and ethical processes at their core, and will launch with five seasonal flavours. Naturally, and in keeping with our closeness to Mother Nature, we only use ethical ingredient and packaging sourcing throughout our business and we have embraced our position as part of a wider culinary food community in Ireland.

Why “Solstice”? Because for thousands of years, the solstice is a moment that has always meant a lot to people. A reminder to take a moment to stand still, “grian stad.” A moment for families and communities to connect to each other and with nature. And with the bounty this land provides. Solstice honours Mother Nature at her magical and wonderful best. We give thanks for the seasonal tastes from wholesome, local, natural produce. We respect her fragility through regenerative farming and dairy practices. Now stop, stand still and enjoy Mother Nature with us.

Stop for a moment, enjoy it.


Valrhona


Since 1922 the vocation of Valrhona has been to create exceptional chocolate, while respecting the artisan’s know-how and fine French taste.


Dedicated to quality, Valrhona controls each step in the Grand Chocolat process- from the selection of the finest cocoa beans directly on their plantations, from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, to the painstaking combination of beans and final manufacturing in the traditional way.


Valrhona is a certified B Corporation. The assessment system B Corp offers serves as a guide as they work to make their business better for the world around us. 

By buying Valrhona, you choose a responsible chocolate that is 100% traceable and sourced directly from 10,262 producers who Valrhona supports in adopting good social and environmental practices. You also choose a company that has been partnering the food sector and supporting chefs for almost 100 years.

But Valrhona is, above all else, the story of its people. Beyond their status as a chocolate company, their strength lies in the ties they forge between producers, employees and customers. These ties, which they continue to reinforce every single day, help cocoa producers improve their livelihoods and enable customers to unleash their creativity in an ever-more sustainable way.
Let’s act now for the responsible gastronomy of tomorrow!

Portal Dairy Co.


Gateway to the very best of Irish cheese and dairy.


The megalithic Portal monuments that lie majestically across our ancient landscape were built by Ireland’s earliest dairy farmers around 6,000 years ago. These farmers formed part of a much wider Atlantic maritime tradition of farming with our neighbouring countries. Their monuments acted as portals between worlds.


These first farmers who voyaged to Ireland quickly recognized the value of the incredible milk their cows were producing from the island’s lush green grass. It was these farmers who created one of the world’s oldest butter and cheese making traditions, so that they could capture this delicious, nutrient-dense food for the entire year. The archaeological evidence for these early dairy fats are found as trace elements in the Neolithic Pottery remains of the Céide Fields in North Mayo.

All About Kombucha


Fresh fermented sparkling tea brewed from wholesome organic ingredients, the perfect addition to a healthy lifestyle.


This Galway artisan adventure is the passion project of Emmett Kerrigan and Keith Loftus.


All their kombucha is brewed & bottled on home soil. They have built their own brewery from the ground up. Creation is at the heart of what they do so it makes it all the sweeter knowing the production process inside out. They blend a variety of three teas and steep them until they get the desired flavour. Tea, water, sugar and time- Kombucha is as simple as that. They let the ancient art of fermentation transform the sweet tea into Kombucha. What’s left is a low calorie, low sugar and probiotic rich sparkling drink. 


They have recently started working with 1% for the planet, an initiative set up by the founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard. They donate 10% of all their profits to efforts to combat climate change. This is something they feel very strongly about as ‘Causing minimal harm’ is one of their values. This is also part of the reason they currently sponsor the likes of Patagonia’s instore events, Sustainable Fashion Dublin’s workshops and Sip n’ Swaps exhibitions.

Adamance


At Adamance they are a passionate team from Valrhona’s chocolate factory in Tain l’Hermitage, in the heart of the Rhone Valley’s rich fruit-growing country.


Each summer, the vibrant natural life in the orchards yields its finest treasure and fruit go in their hundreds to markets. When they journeyed deep into the world of fruit, they discovered suppliers with amazing flavours and skills, as well as some passionate people. Along the way Adamance also have also seen practices which don’t respect people or nature, supply chains which aren’t always open and honest, and a race for quantity over quality, leaving flavour by the wayside.


This is why Adamance was born, when they decided to act to protect fruits’ future and flavour over the long term – and the future of the people who work with them too. Adamance was created along with commitment to producers and with committed creators such as yourself.
