| I'm always excited when I discover a new business but nothing pleases me more to find a new local business. Last Saturday at the Nenagh Farmer's Market in Quintin's Way, I discovered the brand new company Lough Derg Chocolates. Run by the charming Malachy (above) and his wife Elaine, Lough Derg Chocolates is based in Newtown and is the latest new business in the food category for North Tipperary. |
Malachy worked previously in the construction industry but when that dried up he decided to train as a chocolatier. His new lifestyle suits him well and you can feel his passion for his product.
These are the boxed chocolates which include 12 pieces of chocolate for €8.95. They also have fabulous big bars of chocolate. I love the packaging on these large boxes.
Chocolate Santas and snowmen.
Chocolate lollipops cost .80 cent. They also have cello bags of truffles, Sophia and I picked up the mint truffles which were delicious.
You can find Lough Derg Chocolates at the Nenagh Farmer's Market in Quintin's Way every Saturday morning but they are also at the Milk Market in Limerick on Fridays. I'm pretty sure you are going to see them on sale in shops throughout Ireland in the very near future.
Check out more on their website,
Lough Derg Chocolates or LIKE them on Facebook. But be sure to buy some and try them out yourselves, the perfect local gift for Christmas this year!!
Well now, this is interesting news indeed! As a fan of anything Tipperary, my association of the words 'Lough Derg" could be forever changed from black tea and dry toast to chocolate - I must see if I can sample some of this chocolate for myself. Thanks for the heads up!
