JACK CUTHBERT'S HANDMADE BREAD LIMITED

Jack Cuthbert's Handmade Bread Limited is a family-run bakery based in Midleton, County Cork, where for the past 21 years it has been crafting some of Ireland's finest handmade breads and baked goods. Drawing on a six-generation baking heritage, the company blends traditional techniques with simple, natural ingredients, producing loaves, rolls and specialty items that are wholly free from artificial dough improvers.

The bakery's standout innovations include a patented fermentation process that cuts both energy use and production time, and the signature Pezo Pan - a lighter, sweeter loaf inspired by Italian recipes. Quality is central to the operation, with a robust HACCP system in place and a target to achieve BRC accreditation within the next 18 months.

Committed to sustainability, Jack Cuthbert's works with the EPA's Cleaner Greener Production Programme and runs an internal "green team" that continually seeks to lower water and energy consumption and minimise waste. The result is a modern, environmentally conscious bakery that delivers authentic, artisan bread to retailers and consumers across Ireland.
