Our Story

Maurice Gilbert has always had a passion for good, locally produced food. In 2006 he put that interest into practice, creating his own 100% natural apple juices.

Maurice began selling the juices at farmer’s markets.

It soon became clear that he’d something special. With business partner Gerry Murphy alongside, the seeds of Ballyhoura Apple Farm were sown.

In 2010 Ballyhoura Apple Farm won a coveted Blas na hÉireann food award. In 2015 we moved to our new headquarters in Kilfinane, under the gaze of the Ballyhoura Mountains.

It’s here in Kilfinane that products like Ballyhoura Apple Cider Vinegar are made, which is loved not only for its wellness promoting qualities, but its great flavour too. It’s also where visitors can tour our Artisan Food Park and Vinegar Vault.
