Cyber Monday ......

Did you know that the first Monday in December is known to Internet retailers as "Cyber Monday"? That's when Internet Christmas shopping kicks off. 

At Ummera we are preparing for the Christmas orders for our products over the internet, over the phone, by email, by fax, by post and even in person. If you would like an old fashioned order form, just ask!

We look forward very much to helping you with your requirements in the lead up to Christmas; we would, as always, appreciate as much notice as possible so that you are not disappointed.

Our website shop is open 7days a week, 24 hours a day; there will be changes coming shortly to the website which will improve the experience, but don't wait until then!

Act now!

The Good Wine Show!

Well...wine shows by their very nature are good, but this one promises to be really GOOD! 

It is special because it combines the talents and taste buds of three independent wine merchants from the Cork area, Bubble Brothers of Cork City, Curious Wines of Bandon and Karwig Wines of Carrigaline.

And apart from the excellent wines that will be opened this Friday and Saturday at the Cork Clarion Hotel, there will also be a small select coterie of food producers there, Declan Ryan of Arbutus Bread, Isabelle Sheridan from On The Pig's Back in the English Market  and Ummera of course!

Full details of times, dates and location are all available on the Good Wine Show website.

Anyone speak Welsh?

On Wednesday nights at 9pm from now to the 16th December you can watch, on the Welsh Language TV Channel, S4C, a seven part cooking competition series with Tigh Dudley which was filmed at Ballinacurra House, Kinsale last July.

Ummera and some other producers took part in a mini Farmer’s Market to welcome the contestants and to show just how brilliant the food products of West Cork are!

Networking West Cork

Networking seems to be the current buzzword for business "get togethers"!

But there was a great gathering at the Celtic Ross Hotel in Rosscarbery last week organised by Network West Cork and the West Cork Enterprise Board. Krishna De was Guest Speaker and Ummera Smokehouse and the Celtic Ross were in the Business Box!

Krishna, a "new media" marketing guru, gave us a great mention in her blog post during the event.

A little bit of Press coverage...

is always very welcome, and to get a mention in two of Ireland's national daily's on the same day was certain to cheer us up!

Clodagh Mckenna featured Ummera as her "Can't Do Without" producer in the Irish Examiner on October 31st and Kieran Murphy, of Murphy's Ice Cream fame, gave us a mention in an excellent article in the Irish Times entitled "Hold on to what we've got".
