About Biasol
BiaSol is an Irish food company based in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, that creates nutritious snacks and breakfast foods from upcycled brewing byproducts. Founded in 2020, the business was built around reducing food waste while making foods that are both wholesome and enjoyable to eat.
The company positions itself as a clean-label, sustainability-led brand serving families and everyday consumers looking for convenient, better-for-you foods. Its products are sold online and through Irish retail channels, and the brand emphasizes taste, fibre, and measurable environmental impact alongside simple ingredients.

- Nutrition: BiaSol emphasizes high fibre, protein, and wholesome ingredients, with products designed to support fullness, gut health, and everyday wellbeing.

- Award recognition: The company says it has received multiple awards, including Best Food & Drink Startup 2023, the RDS Rural Innovation Award 2023, the Irish Business Design Challenge Winner 2024, Blas na hÉireann awards in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and a Great Taste Award 2024 for its Oat Bar.
- Nationwide retail presence in Ireland: BiaSol states that its products are listed in Aldi, Tesco, and Holland & Barrett across Ireland, giving it broad consumer reach for a young brand.
