It’s Simply ‘Mayolish’!

Ballymaloe Foods combines two favourites to bring a new taste to the table in time for summer dining

Charity partnership with Food Cloud also announced by Cork food company to help tackle food waste

Ballymaloe Foods has revealed a new product ‘MayoLish’ which arrives just in time for summer dining. The family-run food company has taken two firm favourites – the legendary Ballymaloe Relish and creamy Ballymaloe Mayonnaise – to create a perfect blend that is simply delish! And in the spirit of bringing two great things together, Ballymaloe Foods has also announced a key charity partnership with Food Cloud to help Irish consumers consider the small habits they can change to help tackle food waste, along with supporting the endeavours of the social enterprise.

Introducing MayoLish

Ballymaloe Foods products use only the finest ingredients, produced in small batches in Cork. The original Ballymaloe Relish is a safely-guarded family recipe of tomatoes, sultanas, and a carefully picked blend of spices. Ballymaloe Mayonnaise uses Irish free-range eggs, cracked black pepper and extra virgin olive oil. MayoLish expertly combines these two products to create a velvety smooth, creamy and tangy sauce that is versatile whether enjoying a ‘fakeaway’ at home, BBQ, sandwiches, crispy fish, or salads.  MayoLish is now widely available at stockists nationwide and comes in a squeezy bottle that is made from 100% recycled plastic (rpet) reflecting Ballymaloe Foods’ commitment to sustainability.

Maxine Hyde, General Manager Ballymaloe Foods said, “For over 30 years, Ballymaloe Foods has been a family run business based in Cork. Over the years we have tried and tested new recipes to now produce a range of over 20 products. We pride our success to date on the quality approach we take to our business, using the best ingredients, being environmentally-conscious, and continuing to offer our loyal customers products that are pantry staples which can elevate everyday meals. MayoLish feels like a natural evolution to the product range as we have been mixing Ballymaloe Relish with Mayo at home for years! We are excited to also announce our partnership with Food Cloud and continue to support the work of this vital social enterprise, while also progressing our own sustainability commitments”

Food Cloud Partnership

Ballymaloe Foods has announced its new charity partnership with Food Cloud, the social enterprise that aims to address the twin issues of food waste and food security. So far in 2024, Ballymaloe Foods has helped Food Cloud to distribute 18 tonnes of food surplus, which equates to 42,920 meals and a saving of 57.7 tonnes of CO2. As part of the partnership, Ballymaloe Foods aspires to support Food Cloud in the following ways:

• Providing surplus food generated in production on a monthly basis
• Educate Ballymaloe consumers on the environmental impact of food waste, provide tips to prevent food waste and recipe suggestions to mitigate surplus food too.

Sustainable roots

Sustainability is at the heart of everything at Ballymaloe Foods, an ethos which was instilled by its founder Yasmin Hyde who was passionate about protecting the environment and supporting local producers.  Ballymaloe Foods has achieved gold member status of Bord Bia’s Origin Green programme, the world’s first sustainable food and drink production programme for its commitment to sustainability. It is also a sponsor of Birdwatch Ireland’s National Garden Bird Survey, which is the most popular of its citizen science initiatives.
