Joan & Bob's Juicy Jams

Founded in 2015, Joan & Bob's Juicy Jams has gone from strength to strength. Having met decades earlier while studying Fine Art, Joan and Bob decided to pursue their passion for preserving foods. 

Their expertise in jam-making is rooted in their respective farming backgrounds and the traditional skills passed down from their mothers. The company prides itself on crafting preserves in small batches, employing a slow cooking method that enhances each ingredient’s flavour. Breaking somewhat with tradition, they decided to innovate by creating unique and contemporary flavours, such as 'Strawberry, Peach & Prosecco', 'Raspberry & Vanilla,' and ‘Fig and Orange for Cheese’ (their top seller). Spurred on by their success, they expanded their range, and delved into the world of cordials, chutneys, pesto, and sauces, which are now firm favourites in cupboards and pantries right across the country. 

As a nod to Joan and Bob’s artistic backgrounds, each label features Joan's original drawings and watercolours. Years spent foraging for seasonal fruits and a deep passion for food is reflected in the intricate images that adorn each jar and bottle, making them just that extra bit special. 

Joan & Bob's Juicy Jams have achieved notable success, including being accepted into the SuperValu Food Academy, an initiative that supports small and emerging food producers in Ireland. This opportunity has allowed them to expand their reach and bring their products to local communities, promoting the 'Shop Local' ethos. Joan and Bob's Juicy Jams prides itself on being part of an incredible community of Irish food producers. Shop local and savour the flavour and creativity packed into every jar of Joan & Bob’s Juicy Jams!
