The Sodshow meets John Noonan of Flahavans

On this weeks Sodshow Peter Donegan chats with John Noonan of Flahavans; a 7th generation Irish family food business based in Kilmacthomas, Co. Waterford. On the go since 1785, according to Love Irish Food, Flahavan’s “is Ireland’s favourite porridge” with “over three million servings of Flahavan’s consumed nationwide each week”. Together Peter and John chat everything from the sourcing of their oats from within 60 miles of their mill to how they now sell in South Korea, 1200 stores in the United States; and the United Arab Emirates and from how porridge is scientifically proven good for you to their involvement with (former guests of The Sodshow) Origin Green. We also have an additional natter from our very own Caitriona Redmond alias Wholesome Ireland, being that the horticulture angle slightly aside, she knows how to make their product taste so much better than Peter an Brian ever (ever) could …… it is another jam packed garden podcast. With thanks to Bord Bia and Love Irish Food for their assistance in putting this interview together.
