The Bridgestone Irish Food Guide. John & Sally McKenna
Produced on the family farm by Alan & Valerie Kingston,in West Cork, Ireland, from the milk of our own herd and of neighbouring farms, using absolutely no additives each product is carefully handmade.
We have started two new routes in the Waterford and Kerry areas, check out the availability page.
Clotted Cream
Traditionally associated with Devon and Cornwall, clotted cream could be called 'double-double cream'. Very rich at 60% fat but very delicous. Spread it on scones with jam for that traditional cream tea or try it on fruit tarts, desserts...
It comes in a screw top jar and has a shelf life of 4 weeks, unopened and refrigerated.
Quark / Fromage Frais
We were awarded a silver medal at the prestigous British Cheese Awards 2006.
This is a low fat cream cheese made from whole milk and contains about 10% fat. This is the main ingredient in our cheesecakes and is very versatile on its own also. Serve it sweet, with fruit , or savoury with garlic and herbs, mix it with your favourite relish or try it mixed with smoked fish.
Cheesecakes
Our cheesecakes are
handmade with Glenilen fromage frais and Glenilen double cream. We do 4 flavours; lemon, (using freshly squeezed lemon juice), summerfruits,(pure fruit), Irish cream liqueur, and coffee and walnut.
As you can see, this is why they taste so homemade, because that's exactly what they are.
All the cheesecakes are suitable for home freezing if frozen on the day of purchase and consumed immediately on thawing (otherwise the base is inclined to get soggy), this is also a convenient way of removing the cheesecake from it's container for presentation on a plate, just pop in the freezer for 2- 3 hours.

protein 6.0g
Carbohydrate 21.6g
(of which sugars) 16.3g
Fat 12.7g
(of which saturates) 7.39g
Raspberry Mousse
Our raspberry mousse contains around 30% pure fruit. Glenilen natural yogurt, Glenilen cream, sugar, water and gelatine make up the remainder.
The fruit flavour really hits you on your first taste. A relatively healthy dessert as they contain only 9% fat.
As there are no preservatives ( or anything artificial) in the mousse, the shelf life is short.
Farmhouse Butter
Our butter is batch made in a traditional type butter churn,from sweet cream and is slightly salted.
In Nov. 2005 we were delighted to welcome Phillipa Davenport of The Financial Times , to Glenilen Farm. Phillipa has a particular interest in butter, so we made a churn of butter together !

More recently Richard Corrigan of Lindsay House also made a batch of butter with us.
We have made our first batch of raw cream ripened butter, entered it in the Great Tastes Awards and...it won GOLD ! We are now working on the packaging and labelling of the product before it will be available in stores.
Natural Yogurt & Fruit Compote
You'll find this in a french style glass jar with a plastic cap. The fruit compote, either plum, apple or rhubarb is in a layer at the base, or we do crushed raspberry as well and now strawberry also. We don't add any sugar to the yogurt, in this day of oversweetened foods, so if it's not sweet enough for you just add more.
Luxurious Double cream
Double cream is hard to come by here in Ireland so we decided to bring one out ourselves. Beautifully rich.
If you happen to come across a pot and think it's too rich, gradually add a tiny bit of milk in to thin it down to what you require.
Wild Blueberry Sundae
Lower layer of wild blueberries with a sprinkling of sugar, main middle portion of our probiotic Natural yogurt and topped off with a layer of raspberry mousse.
