Sarahs Wonderful Honey

'Sarah's Wonderful Honey' is the brainchild of Sarah Gough, who is General Manager of her family’s business, Mileeven Fine Foods, in Kilkenny. Founded in 1988 by her mother, Eilis Gough, the company is renowned for its quality produce - honey, organic preserves and other fine foods - and is one of the few mother-daughter run businesses in Ireland.

Although Mileeven has been known for its honey range for many years, ‘Sarah’s Wonderful Honey’ is a new concept - a multi-purpose product of pure honey with fruit or nuts added, it can be used as a spread, for cooking, glazes and dessert toppings.

The range includes Ginger, Cinnamon, Lemon, Orange, Blueberries, Sour Cherries and Raspberries among the fruit flavours, and there is a nutty one with crunchy Walnuts.

The company has invested over €100,000 in developing the new range, and this innovative product has already started winning awards, including a Gold Star at the 2011 Great Taste Awards where Sarah's Scrummy Honey with Sour Cherries was singled out for 1 Gold Star.

Innovation is carried through to the marketing too, and an online film ‘Welcome to my world’ can be viewed at www.mileeven.com

The range is available from a number of gourmet and fine food retailers, including Avoca, and has been listed with Superquinn.
