Ballymaloe Foods is a beloved Irish food brand with a rich history that began in the 1930s. It all started when Ivan Allen grew tomatoes in his glasshouses in Shanagarry, Co. Cork.

His wife, Myrtle, created a delicious tomato relish using the excess tomatoes, which quickly became a family favorite. Myrtle went on to open a restaurant in her dining room in Ballymaloe House in 1964, where she cooked with local produce and wrote the daily menu based on what the food producers brought to her kitchen door. Today, Ballymaloe Foods offers a wide range of products including relishes, pasta sauces, mayo, salad dressings, beetroot, meat and roasting sauces, and gift boxes.

While the brand has expanded globally, it remains a small family business dedicated to using the best quality ingredients. The original Ballymaloe Relish recipe has remained unchanged for almost 100 years, and its taste and quality continue to delight customers worldwide. Led by Yasmin Hyde and her daughter, Maxine, the brand continues to innovate and create delicious new products while staying true to the ethos of sustainability and supporting local producers.

Exciting new recipes are constantly being developed in Yassy's Lab, and customers can look forward to discovering the next tasty creation. With a commitment to responsible and local sourcing, Ballymaloe Foods supports Irish farmers and promotes animal welfare by using free-range Irish produce whenever possible.
