We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our Beer Battered Chips and Carrot & Parsnip have been shortlisted as finalists in their respective categories at the Blas na hÉireann 2024 Awards! This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to producing high-quality, delicious, and innovative products that resonate with our customers.

 

Blas na hÉireann, The Irish Food Awards, is the largest blind tasting of produce in Ireland, and being named a finalist is a tremendous honour. The awards are judged on stringent criteria, with a system developed in collaboration with the Food Science Department of University College Cork (UCC). This judging process is now recognized as an international industry standard, making the Blas na hÉireann awards a true benchmark of excellence.

 

For our team at Mash Direct, this not only validates our hard work but also assures our customers that they are enjoying the very best of farm fresh produce.

 

Being shortlisted for these awards is a testament to the dedication and passion that goes into every product we create. Our Beer Battered Chips, with their perfect blend of crispy batter and fluffy potato, and our Carrot & Parsnip, a wholesome and flavorful side dish made from heritage vegetables, have both captured the attention of the judges and are now vying for top honors.

 

The winners of the Blas na hÉireann 2024 Awards will be announced on Friday, 4th October, during the awards ceremony in the vibrant Blas Village in Dingle. This pop-up village is not just a celebration of the best in Irish food and drink but also a unique opportunity for producers to showcase their products, engage with customers, and connect with key industry buyers. We’re excited to be part of this event and are keeping our fingers crossed for a win!

 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. We invite you to try our award-nominated Beer Battered Chips and Carrot & Parsnip if you haven’t already—your taste buds will thank you!
