Glenisk pops up in Dublin!

Popular Offaly-based company Glenisk has launched a pop-up store in Dublin. Called “Glenisk Upfront and Personal”, the new shop will be located at the corner of Dawson Street and Duke Street until the end of June and until then aims to demonstrate the versatility of its organic yogurt through a series of creative flavour combinations.

The new store is being managed by Christine Jordan, who has spent three months devising recipes for it. Recipes featured include ingredients from many leading Irish food producers while also embracing global food themes.

As well as smoked fish, savoury options include carrot, beetroot and apple salad with an orange harissa dressing, Greek salad and Mexican bean and avocado combinations. Each savoury dish at the pop-up shop is served with rosemary and olive oil crostini, baked especially for Glenisk at Moore Street’s renowned Paris Bakery.

Sweet treats include Greek style natural yogurt with dark chocolate, orange, pistachio and honey; Turkish figs in spiced syrup with toasted almonds and fresh fruit with granola and honey or banana, caramel and milk chocolate. The store also offers a selection of cheesecakes and smoothies prepared with Glenisk yogurt and creme fraiche.

Speaking about the new shop, Glenisk MD Vincent Cleary said the 25 year old company’s growth in recent years has been achieved largely through embracing new ideas and developing new products.

“As we embark on the next 25 years, our Upfront and Personal store hopefully demonstrates our ongoing commitment to innovation,” he said. “We’re delighted to have the opportunity to meet our customers in person and share our ideas, and we look forward to welcoming them to the store to hear their views.”
