We launched our Miena's Christmas Crackers in November this year as a special way for you to enjoy our nougat this Christmas! And they have proved very popular.

In case you haven't heard, our new Almond, Strawberry & Rhubarb nougat has gone through to the finals of the Blas Na HEireann Irish Food Awards! And, rather, incredibly, so have our Simply Better Almond & Fig and Raspberry & Orange flavours that we supply to Dunnes Stores. The three are in the Confectionery category.

We've had a very busy summer here in the Glen of Imaal which was actually great to be honest. Like everybody else, we hated being in lockdown even though it was, of course, for the best reasons possible. Let's hope the country can continue to open up – particularly the schools – and that we can get back to some normality in our lives. Safely, of course!
