Welcome to Clonakilty Food Company. We are an Irish family-business, passionate about bringing our family of great tasting products into homes here in Ireland and abroad.
Our story dates back to a butcher shop in 1880’s West Cork where Clonakilty Blackpudding was first made using a secret recipe, that was carefully passed down through the generations of butchers. In 1976 when Edward Twomey and his wife Colette purchased the butcher shop he also inherited the secret recipe for black pudding.
As a result of the Twomey’s passion and sheer determination, the popularity of Clonakilty Blackpudding spread beyond the town and in to nearby villages, towns, counties and further afield. Since then, we’ve grown our business and product offerings to include Clonakilty Whitepudding, Clonakilty Sausages, Clonakilty Rashers and more recently Clonakilty Veggie Pudding.
From what began in a small butcher shop, Clonakilty Food Co. is now an international business spanning Ireland, UK, Europe, Australia, and the UAE.

Folláin is the Irish word for wholesome which is at the core of our commitment to honest food made with the purest ingredients to hand. We really believe that preserves have the power to capture nature at its best and that’s what we wanted to share with the world.
Back in 1984, Folláin branched out from the original grapefruit marmalade purely to make use of the delicious gooseberries, strawberries and raspberries that were available locally.
Everything we make is made with 100% natural fruit.
Mairin and Peadar’s love of good food and eating well makes home-cooking essential to their happiness. That home cooking comfort and care is at the essence of everything they make. We think it’s the strong family ties in a business capable of producing enough jams to feed a few armies that sets us apart. Even through our expansion, we’re proud that we’ve never lost sight of what is at our core; family and tradition.
Folláin’s commitment to wholesome food led to the introduction of a No Added Sugar range in 2007 which is just as sweet as the traditional taste Folláin lovers everywhere are used to
