Athenry producer flies flag at Food Summit

A progressive Athenry company was among 400 food producers and chefs from all corners of Ireland, producing the best of Irish cuisine for the 20,000 delegates and journalists at this year’s Web Summit in Dublin’s RDS.

Galway Good Food Ireland members, Foods of Athenry, are proudly flying the flag for their region, bringing their expertise and exceptional flavours to the largest ever showcase of Irish food, at the Food Summit in the specially built food village in Herbert Park beside the enormous and ground-breaking Web Summit itself.

With some vegan and many gluten-free breads and scones, chocolate biscuit bars and flapjacks, double-baked gluten-free soda bread craicers, vegan honeyed almond and rosemary craicers, and a new range of tiny cookie shots, Brownies and Blondies, just 18 calories per gluten and wheat-free biscuit, and perfect with a cuppa for all those hard-working delegates at the Web Summit, Foods of Athenry have done Galway proud!

Busy and dedicated Good Food Ireland chefs, producers, growers, foragers, cheese makers, bakers, chocolatiers, preserve makers and artisan speciality food creators from all across the country are half-way through their participation in the Food Summit with Good Food Ireland – the largest ever showcase of Irish artisan food, and Foods of Athenry have provided a huge range of their fantastic food to keep the thousands of delegates happy.
