The Irish Food Writers’ Guild (IFWG) celebrated excellence in Irish food at its annual Food Awards, held at the renowned ANANDA Restaurant.
Among this year’s esteemed recipients, the Irish Seed Savers Association was awarded the Community Food Award for its dedication to preserving Ireland’s food crop heritage through its exceptional Irish heritage apple juice.
The award-winning apple juice from Irish Seed Savers represents more than just a delicious and refreshing drink—it is a tribute to Ireland’s rich agricultural legacy. Crafted from organically and sustainably grown apples from the National Collection of Heritage Apple Trees, each bottle serves as a link between people, the land, and the deep-rooted traditions of Irish food culture.
Beyond its outstanding taste, this apple juice embodies a commitment to sustainability and food security. By utilising the full harvest, Irish Seed Savers combats food waste while educating communities on sustainable growing practices. The preservation of these heritage apple varieties plays a crucial role in protecting biodiversity and ensuring that traditional Irish food practices continue to thrive for future generations.
