Living Tastes is based in Westport, Co Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. Westport was recently designated by the Irish Times newspaper as “the best place to live in Ireland” because of the pride of the local people in their town, the grandeur of the nearby mountain and seascapes and the brilliant community spirit in the area. The founders of Living Tastes love living here for the seafaring, horse-riding and the active outdoor life; indeed Westport is becoming increasingly renowned for field and mountain events, including triathlons and ironman as well as unique happenings such as Sea to Summit and Gaelforce. Living Tastes foods are inspired by the need for healthy, tasty energy-giving nutrition to support these active lifestyles. Living Tastes makes plant based food products that provide tasty, healthy, convenient and protein-rich alternatives to meat and dairy-based foodstuffs. These have various kinds of tree nuts as the basic ingredients and are prepared and presented without cooking or heating above 46 degrees Celsius so that the food retains as much of its original vitality as possible. In other words we want to preserve as much as possible the “living” characteristics of the original live ingredients within the end product. In this way when someone eats these products they are ingesting something vital thereby enhancing their own vitality.
