Sage and Lovage 

Sage and Lovage was born from Ivonka Kwiek’s deep-rooted passion for nature, healthy eating, and sustainable living.

“Growing up in the Polish countryside, I learned from my grandmother the benefits of wild foraging and home gardening. My love for natural ingredients and traditional recipes continued when I moved to Ireland ten years ago, where I was inspired by the stunning landscapes and the local food producers. With a background in cultural anthropology and ethnography, I combine my knowledge of traditional practices with my passion for culinary arts and gardening to create unique and delicious products. My products are crafted with care, using only the finest organic and wild-harvested ingredients. With a deep respect for nature and tradition, I strive to create products that nourish both body and soul. Sage and Lovage offers a range of handcrafted, natural products inspired by the traditions of herbalism and the beauty of Connemara.”

Ivonka is a trained wine enthusiast who managed Tartare, a Michelin-recommended wine bar and restaurant in Galway. She has collaborated with some of the region’s top chefs, food producers, and farmers, showcasing exceptional farm-fresh produce, free-range meats, and the incredible fresh seafood sourced from the Atlantic.
