Clonakilty
A secret recipe. A West Cork original.
Clonakilty Blackpudding began at a butcher’s counter in the 1800s. Today Green Acres supplies the black and white puddings, beech-smoked bacon and Irish sausages that bring the story onto breakfast, brunch and pub menus in the Netherlands.
The guardians of the recipe
From one butcher’s shop to tables around the world.
The story begins in Philip Harrington’s butcher shop on Sovereign Street in Clonakilty. Johanna O’Brien, a farmer’s wife from nearby Sam’s Cross, made black pudding for the shop to supplement the family income. When she retired, the recipe — including its secret spice blend — was carefully handed on.
Edward Twomey bought the shop and its recipe in 1976. Local demand persuaded him to keep making the pudding, and Edward and Colette Twomey remained the only people mixing the spices. The family business later added Whitepudding in 1986, expanded internationally and returned production to a purpose-built facility in Clonakilty in 2017.

View productWhat makes the original distinctive
Oatmeal, onion and the closely guarded spice blend.
The producer describes its black pudding as a traditional combination of beef, oatmeal, onion, beef blood and a secret blend of spices. The oatmeal contributes to its recognisably crumbly texture; the spice recipe remains known only within the family business.
