A passion for life and a passion for nougat!
Hi there. My name is Miena and I established my nougat-making business here in my kitchen in Co Wicklow back in 2010.
Up and running for more than 10 years, Miena’s Irish Handmade Nougat is now located in a small production facility right beside my original kitchen. My small team and I still make our tasty Irish product right here in the Garden of Ireland next to my home. It is a dream come true!
We still handmake all our nougat too, using the best and freshest ingredients we can find. We create different flavours with almonds, pistachios, strawberries, rhubarb, passionfruit and whatever new ingredient we think will work. Including chocolate!
We experiment a lot and we are inspired by the nature we see around us every day – regardless of the season or the weather. From the bees and the flowers to the fruit and the countryside! We love coming up with new ideas too.
We also love the fact that our humble Irish nougat is now exported around the world and is on sale in the UK, the US, Britain, Denmark, Belgium and Taiwan with new markets opening up all the time. We are so proud to fly the ‘great food’ flag for Ireland and to be ambassadors for all that is wonderful about Irish food.
But most of all we love when you taste our nougat and you delight in that chewy sweetness which just melts in your mouth – leaving you with a gorgeous aftertaste of nuts and fruit. It means the world to us that you can enjoy this homemade product created just for you by our hands right here in the Garden of Ireland.
Thank you.
Miena
