Bácús - Artisan Bakery

Bácús is a micro bakery crafting Irish and European Artisan breads in the traditional method. We source the finest flour for each individual bread and use fresh ingredients only avoiding preservatives and additives. All breads are finished by hand and baked in our stone floored ovens.

A desire to produce a variety of fine breads locally and the Real Bread Ireland campaign inspired Orla Gowen to establish Bácús Bhréanainn at her home in Brandon in 2009. After completing a number of specialist courses and with the support of Údarás na Gaeltachta her micro bakery has now moved to Páirc Ghnó na Coille in Dingle.

Bácús Bhréanainn supplies bread to shops and restaurants in Tralee, Killarney and on the Dingle Peninsula and also trades at Tralee Farmers’ Market every Saturday.

The Real Bread Ethos

Real bread in its purest form is bread made without the use of processing aids or any other artificial additive. Real bread is simply flour, water and fermentation, yeast or sourdough, generally with added salt. Natural additives in specialist breads include nuts, seeds, fruit, butter, egg, milk.

Bácús Bhréanainn is a member of Real Bread Ireland, a network of craft bakers who have come together to promote good baking and real bread.
