Located in: From the Garden, Fruit and Preserves

Follain is the Gaelic word meaning all that is wholesome, healthy and natural. A one hundred year recipe passed on through several generations was the secret of Follain's first product, a chunky grapefruit marmalade. From there, they added more flavors and varieties.

The unpolluted climate of West Cork, where Follain is based, is now famous for good food and stunning surroundings and is the backdrop for the Follain fruit which is hand picked in the surrounding fields and hedgerows.

We carry Follain jams in two flavors that are particularly representative of their northern European heritage. Gooseberries are large, tart berries that flourish on bushes in northern Europe. They make fabulous jams but are especially famous for the dessert that bears their name, Gooseberry Fool. This dessert is made from cooked gooseberries folded into whipped cream and can be made using this jam. Rhubarb and ginger is a traditional Irish combination. Rhubarb has a wonderfully tangy flavor while ginger is a warming spice that tickles the tongue and wakes up one's taste buds. Varieties sold separately.

Comments about Follain Irish Jams:

I had a desire to find a wild gooseberry jam, the berry picked before ripeness is quite tart, and lends well to early morning wake-up on the system.
Their berry is picked at ripeness and looses the effect I am looking for.
This was exceptional and a well made product, I will try their other varities.Rubarb/Ginger might be less sweet and more tart.
The tartness on the stomach with a standard gourmet breakfast is quite good for digestion.
I do love beautiful meals.
I would recommend making a sauce for gamy meats/fowl with this one. guests would love it, because it would be different.
