Origin Green Sustainability Programme

Our family business has been proudly committed to sustainability since first joining the Origin Green programme in 2019. In 2022 we launched a bold and ambitious five-year sustainability plan spanning 2022–2027, setting high impact targets across environmental, social, and governance areas. That same year, we achieved Origin Green Gold status for the first time. This is a recognition of exceptional performance in meeting sustainability goals. We have successfully retained this gold status every year since, reflecting our continued commitment to pushing beyond compliance and striving for measurable positive change.

Clonakilty Food Co. is an Irish family-run business, passionate about bringing their family of great tasting products into homes across Ireland and further afield. Their story dates back to the 1880s in West Cork where Clonakilty Blackpudding was first made in Harrington’s butcher shop using a secret recipe. The recipe was carefully passed down through the generations and when Edward Twomey bought the butcher shop in 1976 he inherited it along with a loyal local customer base. Thanks to Edward and his wife Colette’s passion and determination Clonakilty Blackpudding soon became a household name. Since then, they’ve grown their product range to include Clonakilty Whitepudding, Clonakilty Sausages, Clonakilty Rashers, Clonakilty Veggie Pudding and Veggie Sausages and most recently Clonakilty Dinner Sausages and Clonakilty Spice Trail Puddings.

Now owned and run by Colette Twomey, Clonakilty Food Co. is still very much a family business and the butcher shop is still trading at 16 Pearse Street, Clonakilty. The company continues to grow with a focus on innovation but one thing that will remain untouched is the Clonakilty
Blackpudding secret spice mix which, to this day, is only known to Colette.

In 2020 The Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre was opened in their purpose-built
manufacturing plant which offers visitors an insight into the business past and present. More
recently Edward Twomey’s Butcher Shop in Clonakilty town was refurbished in 2022 and
expanded its offering to include both the traditional butcher shop and a hot food and ready meal offering.
