developed a technique designed to extract only the sweetest pulp from the tamarillo fruit to leave the more bitter pith with the skin. For the production of the Tamarillo Vinaigrette Dressing they had to design a unique infusion technique.

Q: Who is your consumer and what benefit does the product bring them?

A: After a year of tweaking the recipes they were satisfied that they had met their customers’ expectations. It was when Auckland retailers wanted to stock Tamco products that they realised that they needed to upscale and commercialise their business. The Tamarillo Vinaigrette Dressing is a beautiful ruby red product, tart/sweet in flavour which complements many foods when drizzled over as a dressing. All the products are packaged in glass with a modern gourmet style label. They are based on red wine and balsamic vinegar, are free of cholesterol, fat and sodium and high in antiaging antioxidants and rich in resveratrol. Both products are gluten free and do not contain added preservatives, colours or fillers that are commonly found in many other food products.

Q: What consumer trend does the product support?

A: Customer satisfaction with the two products has been proven over the past seven years by the high volume of repeat.

Over the past seven years Tamco sales have increased by 23% per annum on a per market basis. n
