Ballymaloe Foods

Ballymaloe Foods is a family run Irish food company based in Little Island with roots in Shanagarry, Co. Cork. Our story began in the late 1930s, when Myrtle Allen created a tomato relish using tomatoes grown by her husband, Ivan. In 1990, their daughter Yasmin Hyde began producing Ballymaloe Relish using her mother’s original recipe.

Today, Yasmin’s daughters, Maxine and Rose, continue the family business, creating a growing range of great-tasting condiments using highquality, natural ingredients. At the heart of the range is our hero product, Ballymaloe Relish, which has grown from a much loved family recipe into an Irish favourite enjoyed around the world.
