Congratulating Pat O’Neill of O’Neill’s Dry Cure Bacon Co., Ian Allen, Managing Director, SuperValu said:
“Huge congratulations to Pat O’Neill of O’Neill’s Dry Cure Bacon Co. Without the hard work and commitment to quality from these Irish food producers, we would not have the excellent range of award-winning products available in SuperValu stores.”
“2023 has been another stellar year for SuperValu at the prestigious Blas na hÉireann awards. This year SuperValu took home a total of 94 awards, including 48 awards for our talented Food Academy producers.

“Along with supporting sustainable food producers we are committed to helping our customers make sustainable choices.

This was another fantastic, award-winning year for our producers, and we are incredibly proud of our local producers as they receive the recognition they deserve,” he said.
