Two different puddings. One very delicious Christmas.
Who can resist a proper Christmas pudding? This year, we’re offering two exceptional puddings - each handcrafted in small batches, steeped in tradition, and brimming with the warmth and flavour of an Irish Christmas.
The Mature Plum Pudding (2-Year Aged)
A true Christmas treasure. This pudding began its journey in early 2023 and has been maturing slowly ever since, developing a depth and complexity that only time can create. Dark, glossy, and intensely aromatic, it’s rich with boozy organic fruits, tart Bramley apples from our garden, wild Irish hazelnuts, and warming spices.
Made with Drumderry Irish flour, Seagull Bakery sourdough crumbs, our own heritage eggs, and lots of different organic fruit macerated for months in Highbank Orchard’s organic apple brandy and Dungarvan Brewing Company’s aged Black Rock stout, it carries extraordinary character. Notes of our own candied Peregrine peach, Morello cherry, and a gentle melon sweetness weave through layers of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, fennel, and ginger.
Perfect pairing: A generous wedge of Organic Cashel Blue - its creamy tang cuts beautifully through the pudding’s rich, aged sweetness. Add a glass of Tawny Port and sneak a slice at midnight… we won’t judge.
The Damson Whiskey Pudding (2025 Release)
This year’s new creation celebrates the Fat Tomato garden and the very best of Irish craft. Made with our own Merryweather damsons - macerated in Tara Hill blossom honey and Boann Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey PX Cask for months - this pudding is deeply fruity, aromatic, and gently spiced.
St. Brigid’s Ale, brewed by Judith and Susan Boyle in honour of the patron saint of beer, adds a warming malty backbone, while Salt Rock cultured butter, Plúr Bakery’s heritage-grain sourdough crumbs, and organic orchard fruits bring richness and texture. Steamed low and slow and rested before release, this is a pudding made to be savoured - dark, luxurious, and unmistakably Fat Tomato.
Perfect pairing: A wedge of Coolattin Raw Milk Cheddar - nutty, clean, and bright, it complements the damsons and whiskey beautifully.
