Having grown up on the family farm in Fermanagh, founder Maurice Kettyle applied his knowledge of animal husbandry, diet and welfare to develop the brand. These founding principles remain at the heart of the company’s commitment to sustainable sourcing. Only the very best Irish grass-fed cattle from small-scale, family farms on the island of Ireland make the Kettyle cut.
Maurice also pioneered an original dry aged craft and went on to patent his own salt moss dry-ageing process.
Premium cuts of meat are dry aged within a handcrafted Irish organic seaweed salt brick chamber to remove moisture.

The texture, depth and concentration of flavours is entirely unique to the Kettyle brand. Today Maurice along with a team of artisan butchers create and test the cuts in a bespoke atelier and state of the art tasting kitchen to ensure only the very best products are added to the range.
