The Tasting Impact
Butter, Beef, and the Start of Source & Standard in Ireland
From timeless restaurants to gluten-free gems, here’s where you’ll find the best of the best — thoughtfully vetted for selective palates.
Sourcing & Standards
This first post for Source & Standard explores how Ireland's agricultural standards, labeling laws, and pasture-based practices aren't just policy—they're the reason the simplest foods here taste so extraordinary. It's not about being fancy. It's about doing things right.
Sourcing & Standards have a Lasting Impact.
As a picky eater, I've always paid close attention to what's on my plate—and over time, that turned into a quiet obsession with why certain foods taste better. In Ireland, it all clicked. From golden butter to grass-fed beef, this trip revealed something I'd always suspected: sourcing and standards have a tasting impact.
And if better sourcing creates better bites? That's a story worth telling.
