Brady Family Real Irish Ham

Brady Family is a heritage-rich Irish brand specializing in traditional ham and deli meats. The company was founded in 1978 by the Brady family in Timahoe, County Kildare, where it began by producing premium quality, hand-cured hams using traditional craft methods. Their products are widely recognized for being made with 100% Irish pork, sourced through the Bord Bia Quality Assurance scheme, which is clearly visible on the packaging.

Over the decades, the brand became a staple in Irish households and retailers. In 2003, Brady Family was acquired by O'Brien Fine Foods, a family-owned Irish meat processor. Today, the brand continues to be manufactured primarily at O'Brien Fine Foods' facility in Timahoe, County Kildare, maintaining its strong ties to its geographic origin. As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of O'Brien Fine Foods, which has expanded the brand's presence across the Irish and international markets while preserving its reputation for traditional 'real Irish' ham.
