By The Kylemore Abbey Team
We’re delighted to share that Kylemore Abbey has been recognised with two awards at the 2026 Blas na hÉireann Irish Food Awards.
Two of our seasonal favourites were honoured at Ireland's prestigious food awards, with the Kylemore Chocolate Biscuit Cake receiving Gold and our traditional Kylemore Christmas Pudding awarded Bronze.
Crafted with care on the Kylemore Estate, these award-winning products reflect the dedication, skill and passion that go into everything we create. The Chocolate Biscuit Cake, which also received a Bronze award in 2023, is handcrafted by Head Chocolatier Veronica Davin and Sr. Genevieve in the Kylemore Chocolate Kitchen. Meanwhile, our Christmas Pudding earned recognition in its very first year of entry, making the award an especially proud milestone.
The Bronze-winning Christmas Pudding is created by Head Chef John O'Toole and the Kitchen Team, combining traditional recipes with the finest ingredients to create a festive favourite, cherished by many all around the world.
Congratulations to Veronica, Sr. Genevieve, John, and the entire Kylemore team on this fantastic achievement. We are incredibly proud of this recognition and grateful to everyone who continues to support Kylemore Abbey's rich food heritage.
