Gluten-free traditional Christmas desserts (Irish)
In a season that’s often filled with wheat-based baking, you can still enjoy all your favourite traditional Christmas desserts, even if you follow a gluten-free diet.
The Foods of Athenry’s selection of mice pies, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, and mincemeat is 100% gluten-free and so delicious.
No need to worry about sharing with wheat eaters, they’ll love these gluten-free versions as well.
Fermented Foods for a healthy gut this season (Irish)
If you’re looking for a delicious and easy way to get more gut-healthy probiotics into your diet over Christmas, you’re going to want to know about Irish food company Vita Plantae and their botanical blends.
The organic Vita Plantae vinegar blend is so different from apple cider vinegar with its sweet and smooth finish that makes it pleasant to drink.
The 45 fermented ingredients in each jar of the organic Vita Plantae botanical blend not only deliver incredible anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits, but also make the blend taste similar to Christmas pudding or mincemeat.
Find out more about this incredible company in our blog post Meet your new favourite Irish fermented food company, and hear about serving ideas and how to take part in the Vita Plantae 2-Week Challenge for gut health.
Order the duo as a present for a loved one, or bring home the duo to enjoy deliciously supporting your gut health this Christmas season.
The essential (fair-trade) Chocolate Christmas Coins
For many of us, it just wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn't get to slip a few chocolate coins into the stockings of our loved ones.
The milk chocolate Christmas coins from Divine are not only creamy and delicious to eat, but they’re made from 100% ethical chocolate that give the cacao growers a fair price.
Chocolate is one of the worst foods for violating human rights. Most chocolate comes from farms where the workers are poorly treated and denied fair wages. And, unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for cacao farms to force children into child labour.
But you don’t have to support the corrupt chocolate industry this Christmas.
You can give your loved ones these ethical fair-trade chocolate coins that support the happiness of everyone along the supply chain (eaters included).
So many of our favourite Christmas recipes call for chestnuts. But organic chestnuts can be so hard to find!
That’s no longer a problem.
We’ve got your cooked and peeled organic chestnuts, ready to go into roasted vegetables, stuffings, nut roasts, soups, stews, casseroles, and even into mash.
We’ve also got this wonderfully versatile organic chestnut flour that will bring a deep, nutty taste to all of your seasonal baking.
If you’re looking for baking inspiration: chestnut flour makes a wonderful cake and it loves to be paired with chocolate!
Choose from our selection of organic wines that includes vegan, biodynamic, and natural options.
You'll find wines that go so well with Christmas dinner (whether it's traditional or vegetarian/vegan), as well as wines to pair with cheese boards and other nibbles, and wines perfect for sipping and savouring on their own.
We love a good coffee any time of year, but especially at Christmas! There’s just nothing like relaxing with an exceptional cup of coffee on a chilly day.
Not everyone wants wine at Christmastime, so bringing home a selection of cordials and pressés from Belvoir will make sure all your loved ones have something special and celebratory to drink.
This time of year, we especially love the Honey, Lemon & Ginger Cordial and the Organic Ginger Cordial. The warming, spicy ginger notes are lovely this time of year and taste great with so many seasonal recipes.
And both cordials are lovely as hot or cold drinks.
Our own Christmas Cakes and Organic ingredients for all of your seasonal baking projects
For many people, this time of year is all about spending time in the kitchen creating delicious cakes, breads, biscuits, puddings, and other wonderful treats to share.
And there’s nothing that evokes the spirit of the season quite like a house filled with the aromas of warm winter spices and freshly baked goodies.
We have the seasonal organic ingredients you need for mince pies, Christmas cakes, whole grain bread, and all your holiday baking projects.
