Dark damsons softened with raw honey — rich, rounded, and full of depth.

One of the very first fruit trees planted in our garden was a Merryweather Damson— a variety once widely grown across Ireland and the UK. Some think of it as more plum than damson due to its generous size, but for us, it’s the flavour that matters: a true damson, with its distinctive astringent bite. The fruit has a blue-black skin with a powdery bloom, greenish-yellow flesh, is juicy and firm, has a clinging stone, and that unmistakable damson character.

Our Merryweather tree had its best year yet this season, yielding heavy crops and intense flavour. We preserved the fruit in every way we could — jams, cordials, syrups, even an umeboshi-style pickle — and discovered this cordial almost by chance.

The idea came when Anthony baked damsons in a local raw honey for breakfast, leaving behind a pool of golden, perfumed syrup. Mixed with lemon juice and sparkling water, it was an instant hit. That flavour combination became the inspiration for this cordial: damsons paired with raw honey and lifted with organic Verna lemons sourced through the CrowdFarming platform. CrowdFarming connects us directly with small-scale Mediterranean citrus farmers — many second- and third-generation growers committed to organic cultivation.

The result is a fragrant, deeply flavoured cordial with the tang of damson, the richness of raw Irish honey, and the brightness of lemon. Unlike syrups, cordials contain both citrus and a pinch of sea salt to heighten flavour and balance the sweetness. Over time, this cordial may gently ferment, creating tiny natural bubbles. Simply shake the bottle before pouring.

A bold, savoury finishing salt with tomato, herbs, and umami flavour.

Born from a single unforgettable drink in New York City, this Bloody Mary Salt began life in Chelsea Market in 2023. One glass — rimmed with a salty, tomato-rich, herbaceous, citrus-bright seasoning — led to another, and then another. Back home in Wexford, Anthony set out to recreate that flavour — and in doing so, created something that now goes far beyond the cocktail glass.

What began as the perfect Bloody Mary salt has become a go-to savoury seasoning in our kitchen. Bright, aromatic, and deeply umami-rich, it brings instant depth with just a pinch.

A small pinch goes a long way.

Sprinkle over roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, fried eggs, chicken, shellfish, or meaty white fish. Stir into dressings, dust over grilled corn or charred greens, or finish hot popcorn for an addictive savoury hit. It’s equally at home rimming a cocktail glass.

This small-batch blend draws on ingredients from both garden and coast. A mix of Achill Island and Wexford sea salts delivers mineral brightness and natural crunch, while dillisk seaweed adds a subtle maritime savouriness. Wild alexander seeds, lovage, and heritage tomatoes bring herbal warmth and rich, natural umami.

Anthony’s long-standing love of salt — collected from Ireland and further afield — has shaped this blend into something distinctive: a uniquely Irish seasoning with global inspiration.

A savoury-sweet fruit butter with blackcurrant, rosemary, and wild spice.

Wexford is famous for its soft fruit — especially strawberries — but for us, it’s all about blackcurrants. Tangy, rich, and intensely flavoured, they thrive in the fertile soils and mild climate of the Southeast.

At Fat Tomato, we currently grow two varieties - Triton and Ben Tinania - with more to come once we buy additional land. Triton is sweeter and more jammy, while Ben Tinania delivers a sharper, more acidic bite. Come harvest time, it’s always a race with the birds, who seem to find the ripest fruit just before we do.

Fruit butter has long been part of traditional kitchens — slow-cooked preserves that sit somewhere between a jam and a purée, made by gently reducing fruit to concentrate its flavour into something smooth, rich, and deeply satisfying.

Our Blackcurrant Butter leans into that tradition, balancing savoury and sweet with a velvety texture. We infuse it with Miss Jessopp’s Upright rosemary for a subtle herbal depth, and wild alexander seeds for soft floral and aniseed notes. A final layer of warmth comes from our own French oak–aged red wine, made in small batches through natural fermentation and used here to add a gentle, woody spice.

Yes, we make a small bit of natural wine with wild yeast fermentation - though as the vines are very young, it’s better for cooking with or turning into red wine vinegar instead of drinking from a glass.

The result is bold, fragrant, and quietly complex — a fruit butter with real depth.

Spread generously on hot buttered toast, soda bread, or scones, or swirl through yoghurt or porridge. Spoon over pancakes, waffles, or rice pudding. It’s equally at home on a cheeseboard — especially with sharp Irish cheddar or soft goat’s cheese like St. Tola — and pairs beautifully with roast pork or chicken, or as a glaze for ham.

A celebration of the tomato — in all its forms.

At Fat Tomato, we grow more than 100 tomato varieties each year — wild and wonderful in every shape, colour and character. Some are best eaten simply, with flaky sea salt and good olive oil; others reveal something entirely different when bottled, preserved or slowly transformed in the kitchen.

Throughout the season, we capture those different flavours and characteristics in small batches — from the brightness of the summer harvest to the deep, savoury flavours that emerge with time.

Our Bottled Tomatoes preserve the harvest simply, creating a true kitchen staple and a taste of the garden long after tomato season has passed. Our mature Green Tomato Chutney transforms the fruit that hasn't ripened at the end of the season into something rich, savoury and complex, while Wild Tomato Jam brings sweet-savoury intensity. Bloody Mary Salt adds a final hit of tomato, spice and seasoning — made to lift everything from eggs and roast vegetables to drinks and simple suppers.

Together, they offer a complete expression of the tomato — fresh, preserved, sweet, savoury and full of character.

Finished with a small illustrated keepsake, this is a box for those who truly love tomatoes in all their forms.

Each box is presented in our signature black gift box, lined with illustrated paper and wrapped in a cornpaper sleeve that tells the Fat Tomato story.

A memorable gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, thank-yous or simply for someone who loves discovering extraordinary flavours. If you’re sending this as a gift, we can include a handwritten note on a Fat Tomato postcard — simply leave your message at checkout.

Grown and made naturally, rooted in biodiversity, and always for flavour, not yield.
