The tradition of baking ‘Waterford Blaa’ dates back to the arrival of the Huguenots. At the time and throughout the medieval period, Waterford was a powerful trading city; leather, [[wheat]], [[flour]], [[butter]] and other agricultural produce from the area around Waterford were shipped to and from England and the continent mainly to Spain, France and Italy. During the civil war records were destroyed, therefore, oral history dictates that in 1685, a large section of French Protestants were exiled to whatever countries gave them shelter, including England and Ireland. Waterford became a point of attraction to French refugees due to its ease of access; it placed them within convenient distance of their own shores, should circumstances make their return desirable; and it afforded a port of trade capable of developing the mercantile abilities of the most enterprising. According to the oral tradition of the period, the Huguenots introduced a bread product made from left over pieces of dough in the late 17th century. Waterford bakers believe that when the Huguenots introduced the ‘Waterford Blaa’, it was called ‘blaad’ or ‘blanc’, and as the product gained in popularity, the Huguenot bakers began making dough specifically for its manufacture. The ‘blaad’ or ‘blanc’ was later corrupted to ‘Blaa’, a name which exists to the present day. | The tradition of baking ‘Waterford Blaa’ dates back to the arrival of the Huguenots.
