In 2016, Blakes Always Organic commenced producing Organic Kefir in Co. Leitrim. The literal translation of kefir is; ‘Feel Good’. Our organic product proved to be very popular with our health-conscious customers, and our business has grown to supply retailers and consumers all over Ireland, with the undisputed health benefits of milk kefir are the main driver of sales.
Kefir originates in the Caucasus mountains, at the intersection of Europe and Asia. The centuries-old superfood was found high in the mountain villages of nomadic shepherds. At a time when many faced the ravages of malnutrition and rampant diseases, these shepherds thrived, living long and healthy lives marked by minimal illness. Historical investigations revealed a unique dietary secret behind their vitality: kefir, a fermented milk product traditionally stored in calf stomach containers. The natural bacteria from these containers would interact with the milk, particularly during warmer temperatures, initiating a fermentation process. This not only preserved the milk but also enriched it with billions of beneficial bacteria.
Our product is a “clean” product. We add nothing but organic milk and bacteria. Our customers enjoy it in many ways, adding fruit to make delicious fresh smoothies or adding it to oats for a healthy porridge. Others use it to bake bread or consume the kefir in its natural form, as it has been consumed for countless generations throughout Eastern Europe and Russia, where our kefir products are produced in The Food Hub in Drumshanbo.
