Bringing Flavour to Life: How Silver Pail Helped Launch Emerald Irish Ice Cream

When Eoin Kennedy and Janet Miley set out to launch Emerald Ice Cream, their vision was clear—craft a premium range of Irish ice cream made with local dairy and layered with standout flavours that appeal both at home and abroad. To bring that dream to life, they partnered with Silver Pail, Ireland’s leading ice cream manufacturer, known for its quality, flexibility, and innovation.

Why Emerald Chose Silver Pail

From the very beginning, the fit was natural. Emerald Ice Cream’s unique selling point lies in its use of milk from Irish grass-fed cows, a principle that Silver Pail has proudly upheld for decades. But beyond a shared love for real Irish dairy, it was Silver Pail’s technical expertise, agile production capabilities, and proven track record in export that made us the ideal co-manufacturing partner for Emerald.

“Silver Pail’s dedication to quality and their innovative R&D team were instrumental in bringing Emerald Ice Cream to life. Their ability to translate our ideas into delicious, market-ready products exceeded our expectations.”
– Eoin Kennedy

Innovation, Flavour & Flexibility

Our in-house R&D team worked closely with Eoin and Janet to craft a range of sophisticated, indulgent flavours that reflect the premium Irish identity of the brand. The final lineup includes:

  • Atlantic Sea Salt – Smooth and creamy with just the right hit of salinity, evoking the Irish coastline.

  • Brown Butter – A rich, nutty profile that elevates traditional creaminess into something unforgettable.

  • Chocolate Salted Caramel – Deep cocoa flavour meets luscious caramel and a touch of Irish sea salt.

  • Irish Coffee – A grown-up nod to a classic after-dinner treat, blending whiskey and coffee into smooth indulgence.

  • Irish Whiskey – Bold, warming, and unmistakably Irish.

  • Salted Caramel – A silky, sweet-meets-salty favourite with universal appeal.

  • Vanilla Bean – A timeless classic made with real vanilla and Irish dairy.

Each flavour is made with fresh milk, cream, and free-range eggs from Ireland, honouring both taste and tradition.

Global Quality, Irish Roots
