The South-East Sunshine Blaa was dreamt up by tour operator and guide Sinéad during a food conference in France in 2024
A new collaborative dish has been launched to celebrate the flavours of the South-East, and Kilkenny is unsurprisingly front and centre.
Local food tour business Tasteful Tours has added a new 'South-East Sunshine Blaa' that celebrates the region and incorporates producers from three counties Kilkenny, Wexford and Waterford. Tour-goers can now opt for a novel take-on the heritage blaa, which gives discerning customers a contemporary taste too.
The South-East Sunshine Blaa was dreamt up by tour operator and guide Sinéad during a food conference in France in 2024 which prompted Sinead to bring the Waterford Blaa back to its associated country.

The dish represents the South-East region by bringing together three Irish products while also celebrating the producers behind them. These products and producers are - a Blaa from Walsh’s Bakery in Waterford City, Irish Cream Cheese from Killowen Farm produced by the Dunne Family in Enniscorthy, Wexford and Smoked Rainbow Trout by Goatsbridge Farm based in Thomastown.
The collective dish creates a spirit of collaboration between counties, sparks creativity and innovation between food producers, hospitality business owners, and tourism entrepreneurs, and showcases products and producers from the South-East region.
