Cork food firm Ballymaloe has reported a significant growth in its northern market presence over the past five years.
The company, best known for its relishes and sauces, said the volume of goods sold north of the border increased by 148 per cent between 2018 and 2022.
Sales of the company’s famous relish increased by 237 per cent over the same period.
Ballymaloe Foods was founded in Co Cork in the 1990s, when Yasmin Hyde began selling ‘Ballymaloe Relish’ at a farmer’s market using her mother, Myrtle Allen’s recipe.
Myrtle Allen was Ireland’s first female Michelin star chef.
Over the years, the company expanded its product range to include pasta sauces, beetroot, mayonnaise, dressings and roasting sauces.
But it was 2016 before Ballymaloe officially launched in Northern Ireland.
“We came into the Northern Ireland Market with huge ambitions, and we are delighted to see how this has played out for us,” said the general manager of Ballymaloe Foods, Maxine Hyde.
“We hope to continue to see further growth across the market and we are incredibly optimistic about this, especially after our exciting rebrand.
“We look forward to continuing to bring our Ballymaloe products to the consumers of Northern Ireland”.
The company recently marked its northern growth with an event in Belfast chef Niall McKenna’s Waterman House venue, in the city’s Cathedral Quarter.
