Kinsale Bay Food Co.
Littleisland Co Cork
Founded in Kinsale on the old fishing site in the middle of the town which was a hub of activity in the 18th century. Kinsale was a major fishing town during this tome, with hundreds of fishing vessels fishing off the Kinsale coast catching mainly mackerel, which was sold to many outlets throughout Europe, making Kinsale one of the major European suppliers of fish.
The local fishermen used a vessel known as the Kinsale Hooker that had a special design which allowed it operate better in those waters than other vessels. Those boats were made locally by tradesmen.
Kinsale Bay Food Co. was founded on this historic site, with one of the original walls still standing back in 2008, and to this day still uses the original recipes that it was founded under – simple, clean, gluten-free, nourishing, wholesome food with a quality taste.
It started supplying the local farmers markets in Kinsale and west Cork and are delighted to supply Lidl in their support for Irish family producers through their Kick Start programme.
