Black (pudding) knight: Managing director honoured for fine produce

Clonakilty Black Pudding managing director Colette Twomey has been knighted at a special food industry ceremony in France.

The Commanderie des Fins Goustiers du Duché d’Alençon has welcomed the Co Cork food producer into its order in recognition of the excellence of its produce. The specialist French society cited the Clonakilty White Pudding, Clonakilty Ispini Sausages and Clonakilty Black Pudding Sausage as outstanding products.

This is Clonakilty’s second award in a matter of weeks, having been among the winners also at the recent Ulster Bank business achievers awards.
