Mella McAuley makes her stunningly delicious butter fudge, using local Bandon butter. Mella began making fudge for a local sweet shop in Bantry when she was in school. Fifteen years later, having worked in a variety of different spheres (including a couple of spells in Sheridans Cheesemongers!), she decided to set up her own business making fudge. Initially she started a stall in Bantry’s Friday Market, and sold to local delis. Gradually her kitchen enterprise grew in scale and now she works from her own kitchen unit in Lisavaird Co-op, outside Clonakilty, West Cork.
