Akaroa Salmon has been sustainably raising King Salmon in the cold, clean waters of Akaroa Harbour since 1985. Their delicious hot-smoked salmon has been crafted with the same time-tested recipe for over 25 years – simply Mānuka smoke, New Zealand sea salt, and fresh Akaroa Salmon, straight from the farm. Awarded numerous times, their hotsmoked is ranked among the best in the country, most recently winning a Gold in the 2023 Outstanding NZ Food Producers awards. Their hot-smoked, cold-smoked, and fresh salmon cuts are available direct from their smokehouse in Treffers Road, Wigram. akaroasalmon.co.nz grizzlybakedgoods.com

Grizzly is well known for its perfectly risen, handmade bread. The Sydenham sourdough is the loaf to start with, made with Canterbury wheat and house starter. Grizzly’s fig, fennel, and walnut loaf is filled with juicy figs, toasted fennel seeds and hunks of walnuts wrapped up in the classic Grizzly sourdough. A fitting addition to any platter, good with savoury or sweet toppings, any time of the year. Pro-tip, Grizzly also sells their sourdough starter, so you can get a taste of Grizzly at home.
