Micheal Lenihan and Jessica Clinton, both chefs with over 15 years of experience, set up their business, Ballyhar Foods over four years ago when they noticed a gap in the market for wholesale luxury desserts and bespoke desserts including gluten-free dairy-free and vegan products. They now produce desserts for restaurants all over Kerry. All the Ballyhar Foods staff are qualified pastry chefs and they run their business like a large pastry kitchen as opposed to a factory setting. Everything is handmade from scratch and no pre-mixed products are used.
