Deeply wholesome and full of character

This traditional soda bread blends nutty brown flour, dark stout and treacle for a rich, malty flavour. Perfect served warm with plenty of Kerrygold butter.

Butter Flight; a celebration of butter in its purest form. From whipped Kerrygold natural, to rich stout butter and fragrant wild garlic, each butter captures a different expression of Irish flavour – simple, generous and made to be shared.
