Clare Spring Water
Lissycasey
Co. Clare
www.clarespring.ie
“Clare, a county renowned for its unique, unspoiled landscape is the home of
this venture by the Connellan family where their land has been a source of
crystal clear spring water for generations. Tom Connellan always knew that
spring water of an extremely high quality existed on his land, as for over 100
years people in the area have enjoyed the vitality of this crystal clear spring
water. He also realised that the purity of his water was due to the fact that
unlike all other Irish Spring Waters, the water on his land is filtered through
organic ground giving it a range of unique properties. It was this fact, coupled
with the shortage of locally sourced water in the area that led them to the
decision to bring the water to market under the brand name Clare Spring
Water and Wellness (a welcome drop of purity).”

Mount Callan Farmhouse Cheese
Drinagh
Ennistymon
Co Clare
“Michael and Lucy Hayes started making Mount Callan in 2000. They use raw
milk from their own herd of Montbelliard cows that graze the fields of the
family farm in North Clare. Mount Callan is made only in the summer months,
using a traditional cheddar method. The honey coloured curds are pressed
and bound in cheesecloth and naturally matured on wood in a stone cabin.
Here the exterior of the cheese develops a grey, dusty rind. The cheeses are
released at 9 - 12 months when they have developed a fine, open texture and
a rich, complex flavour. A limited number of the cheeses are aged for 18
months and develop a much more powerful, earthy tang and a drier texture.”

many as possible sourced in the Burren, we produce a beautiful artisan ice
cream. Linnalla ice cream is free from artificial colouring, flavours, gluten,
