Alan and Valerie Kingston’s Glenilen Dairy is one of the leading artisan luxury brands in Ireland, and may well be the most significant, and may well be the artisan brand with the greatest potential to grow beyond Ireland’s shores. The Kingstons have a simple knack: every product they spin out of their milk is as good as they can make it, and it heads off into the marketplace to enjoy success. The latest potted desserts – chocolate and raspberry and vanilla pannacotta – are superb, and they illustrate the genius of Glenilen: everything feels, looks and eats like a treat. There is no better family of products made anywhere else in Ireland, or anywhere else in Europe, for that matter.
