Ireland
Ireland – The Food Island of Europe
Ireland is a country that is fortunate to have the Gulf stream bringing warm waters up from the Gulf of
Mexico and this is what explains Ireland’s mild temperate climate.
Our abundant rainfall means we have a longer growing season than anywhere else in
Europe perfect for creating green lush landscapes that nourish our animals.
Optimum Climate
With its temperate ocean climate, Ireland does not suffer from the excessive temperature fluctuations experienced by other areas at its latitude. Winters are short and mild, summers never too dry or sultry. Our hills and mountains, near most of the coast, create a safe shelter from wind and ocean currents. Under such favorable conditions, livestock is kept indoors from mid-November to mid-March and are free to live outdoors for rest of the year.
Clear Water
Flowing from springs into streams, rivers and finally the ocean, a natural and harmonious cycle guarantees the absolute purity of every drop that falls on our valleys.
Regular rainfall, between 1,000 and 1,400 mm per year (2,000 mm
maximum is found at high elevations), nourishes our land, aiding the growth of lush pastures. Constant monitoring and environmental protection preserves and safeguards the health of all waterways.
Nutrient-rich grass
As the earth welcomes and nourishes trees, nature nourishes itself in the best possible way. Various studies have shown that a grass-based diet is healthier and more natural for cattle than traditional wheat feed. Meat from grass-fed livestock is rich in vitamin A and carotene with a more balanced distribution of fat, and offers a different texture than other meats. This particular diet even results in meat that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for the health and well-being of your heart.
Fertile Soil
Open your eyes, look around and breathe. Every breath of air is as pure as a new beginning. The air quality in Ireland, measured by the Environmental Protection Agency, has the highest AQIH (Air Quality Index for Health) values in Europe. On a scale from 1 to 10, the different regions in Ireland have for years maintained a score of 1 to 3, proof of the love and commitment that every Irish person has for their land.

Endless Pastures
More than 4 million hectares of land, with 80% dedicated to pastures. Encouraged by a variety of favorable conditions, our cattle-breeders take advantage of the longest grazing season in Europe, granting the perfect space in nature.
