We were absolutely delighted to find out that our Devils Churn Campfire Salted Caramel Sauce won GOLD at the Blas na hÉireann Irish Food Awards!
Even more exciting—this was the first-ever award we entered, making the win even more special.
Now in their 15th year, Blas na hÉireann is Ireland’s biggest competition for quality Irish food and drink, celebrating the best of Irish produce. Entries came from every county across the island, competing for Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards across a broad range of categories. We entered the Sweet Pantry – Sweet Sauce category with our rich, luxurious, and irresistibly indulgent Campfire Salted Caramel Sauce. Made with North Coast Smokehouse Beechwood Smoked Salt, it delivers a perfect balance of salted sweetness with a deep, smoky hint—a truly special flavour.
Best of all, all profits from our sauces support our social enterprise aims and objectives. Every jar sold helps supporting small businesses, revitalising town centres, and helping local artisans grow.
Why This Award Means So Much
The Blas na hÉireann awards are the biggest blind tasting competition in Ireland, with a judging system developed in partnership with the Food Science Department at UCC—now recognised as an international industry standard.
Winning a Blas na hÉireann award is a huge honour, as research shows the Blas accreditation carries the highest recognition among Irish consumers. The award logo on packaging is a trusted guarantee of quality, encouraging shoppers to choose products with confidence.
Blas was founded to create a level playing field for Irish food producers, setting quality benchmarks for the industry. To take home a Gold award on our first attempt is beyond what we ever expected!
