Folláin

Folláin makes delicious Irish jams, marmalades, relishes and chutneys using natural ingredients. Founded in 1983, the family business specializes in traditional recipes and a Nothing But Fruit range.

Folláin, meaning "wholesome" in Irish, is a family-owned preserve maker founded in 1983 in Cuil Aodha, County Cork. The company was started by Eithne Ní Shiadhail and Máirín using a 100-year-old grapefruit marmalade recipe passed down through generations. What began as hand-prepared jams in a West Cork kitchen has grown into a nationwide producer serving hotels, restaurants, and retailers throughout Ireland and internationally.

The company produces a diverse range of preserves including traditional recipe jams and marmalades, a Nothing But Fruit range with no added sugar, relishes, chutneys, and specialty products like lemon curd and their newer Spoonfuls breakfast topper range. Folláin has won multiple Great Taste Awards since 1995, with their first award given for Strawberry Jam. They have expanded internationally, exporting to the USA, Germany, UK, and Canada.

Folláin is committed to sustainability and wholesome food practices. The company sources quality ingredients and offers specialized catering products for the hospitality sector. In recent years, they've launched innovative products like Spoonfuls, designed as nutritious, low-effort additions to breakfast foods. The company maintains strong community values, having partnered with the Simon Communities of Ireland for four years, raising over €89,000 to combat homelessness.

Today, Folláin remains a family business with second and third-generation involvement, continuing their dedication to "Good Food. Pure & Simple" and producing preserves using traditional methods combined with modern food safety and quality standards.
