McNamee's Bakery

When Daniel McNamee first opened his famous Crossmaglen artisan bakery in September 1939, he aimed to produce only the finest baked goods in Ireland. Baking his traditional breads from unique family recipes, using only the best ingredients, like 100% pure Irish buttermilk and his own special blend of flours, Daniel McNamee created the 'Fresh Bread Family' brand.

Seventy years later, during which time Daniel handed over the business to his son "wee Danny", who subsequently and during the most dramatic period, passed on the vision to his son and daughter Ronan & Roisin McNamee. Ronan & Roisin transformed McNamee's into one of the finest bakeries in Ireland, selling their traditional breads in shops throughout Ireland and the UK. The home baked tastes of the "fresh bread family" have ensured our Irish wheaten breads have never gone out of fashion, but are still rich in fibre and full of the goodness of Irish wheat.

Ronan McNamee is a food technologist who has been involved in the bakery industry for over 30 years. Ronan is better known as the co-founder of Cuisine de France in Ireland, which is one of the most successful Irish food companies in recent years, which has since expanded in Europe and subsequently North Americ
