Earlier this month, Kylemore Abbey attended Ireland’s biggest Food Awards, Blas na hÉireann, and we didn’t come home empty-handed!
Among the finest food producers from across the country, our beloved Kylemore Irish Country Cream proudly brought home a Bronze Medal to Connemara — a distinctive blend crafted with care and enriched with honey harvested from our 1,000-acre estate.
In 2021, Kylemore Abbey introduced over 500,000 native Irish black bees to the estate, and just within a few months, the first pots of Kylemore Abbey Honey was harvested. Over time, this rich, aromatic honey was lovingly blended into our signature Kylemore Country Cream, creating a harmonious fusion of smooth Irish dairy cream, warming spirits, and delicate notes of chocolate and vanilla. The result is a luxurious cream liqueur that reflects the heartfelt hospitality and rich culinary heritage of Kylemore Abbey.
A true taste of Kylemore, where tradition meets indulgence.
While we didn’t take home a trophy for it this time, our Victorian Breakfast Marmalade was also shortlisted—an honour we’re incredibly proud of, especially among such esteemed company.
You’ll find both of these handcrafted delights proudly displayed on our shelves at Kylemore Abbey and available online for all to enjoy.
