Media, food writers, influencers, local business leaders, tourism representatives and invited guests gathered to celebrate the arrival of what is believed to be the only dedicated artisan gelato brand based in the West of Ireland.

The sunshine provided the perfect backdrop as guests sampled Wild Churn's handcrafted range of authentic Italian-style gelato while learning about the passion, and vision behind the delicious addition to Galway. Throughout the evening, visitors experienced first-hand the rich flavours and smooth texture that set gelato apart from traditional ice cream, with many describing it as a welcome taste of Italy on Galway's doorstep.

Founded by Galway entrepreneur Ronan Galvin, Wild Churn was born from a desire to create exceptional artisan gelato using traditional Italian methods while celebrating the quality of Irish ingredients. Produced in small batches at the BIA Innovator Campus in Athenry, every flavour is carefully crafted to deliver a premium product that is proudly made in the West of Ireland.

Speaking following the launch, Ronan said; "Launching Wild Churn has been a real milestone for me. To see so many people come along, taste our gelato and share such positive feedback was incredibly special. The fact that we launched on the hottest day of the year couldn't have been more fitting. Wild Churn has always been about creating authentic, artisan gelato using the best ingredients and producing something that Galway and the West of Ireland can be proud of. Yesterday was just the beginning, and I'm excited for what's ahead as more people discover what makes our gelato different."

Guests had the opportunity to meet Ronan, hear the story behind the business and discover how Wild Churn is combining authentic Italian gelato-making techniques with a passion for locally produced artisan food.

The successful launch marks the beginning of ambitious plans for the Galway brand as Wild Churn looks to grow its presence across the hospitality, tourism and food sectors while remaining firmly rooted in the West of Ireland. With increasing consumer demand for artisan, locally produced food, Wild Churn is well positioned to become a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors alike.

Already proving popular with visitors to The Creamery in Salthill, Wild Churn is set to become synonymous with premium Irish-made gelato, offering a truly authentic artisan experience and putting Galway firmly on Ireland's gelato map.
