Who's Who Fine Foods

HELPING THE INDUSTRY ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY

We are very lucky in New Zealand, with new waves of the COVID-19 virus stalling the re-opening efforts of countries around the world, here in Aotearoa we have been able to mostly return to normal, including being able to come face-to-face at important trade events – an experience that can’t quite be replicated in the virtual world.

One of the greatest advantages of exhibiting at a trade show is that it allows you to meet and connect with prospective customers in person instead of communicating with them over the phone. On the phone, you’re just another voice – in person, you become someone that they know, recognise, and want to connect with.

Fine Food New Zealand is the must-attend trade event for 2021. It’s where we will unite as an industry, share knowledge, discover new ideas and the latest trends from over 200 exhibitors, learn from the experts, create new business contacts, network and so much more.

The landscape of our industry has changed drastically since the last edition of Fine Food New Zealand, and this vital trade event Zealand will introduce Vitasoy Plant Base. With the growing popularity of responsible food choices, Vitasoy Plant Base focuses on vegan options, fresh produce, meat alternatives and plenty more. It’s the ideal forum to taste and explore new products.

has evolved and grown to reflect the current environment and issues.

Pivotal to the event, are the SilverChef Seminar Series, where industry experts will discuss key topics. You can expect to find essential information on how to diversify and future-proof your business, lower food kitchen costs, get your products into Countdown, aid wellness in the workplace and more. Attendees can expect a packed schedule full of content to help their businesses get back on track.

With a shortage in skills, Fine Food New Zealand is hosting hands-on workshops in conjunction with the NZ Chefs Association. Chefs of all levels will be able to attend sessions to increase their repertoire of knowledge in bakery, butchery, and seafood.

REMEDY

When Sarah and Emmet Condon started Remedy, they wanted to do something good, shake things up and make it right. They knew that healthy could also be tasty and easy. While they’ve moved on from the kitchen bench where they started, Remedy is still made the old-school way: in small batches, long-aged brewed for 30 days. When kombucha is fermented naturally and kept raw, unpasteurised, and unfiltered, like they do at Remedy, it contains healthy, living, good bacteria, or live cultures. Every bottle of Remedy Kombucha contains literally billions of these microorganisms. The result is the tastiest and healthiest kombucha going around: it contains no sugar, naturally, and is chock-full of all the right stuff: live cultures, organic acids, and antioxidants.

SHEPHERD FILTERS

The Shepherd Filters solution is revolutionary within the Kitchen Exhaust & Ventilation market by making it smarter, cleaner, safer, and environmentally friendly. Shepherd Filters are helping small, medium, and large cafés, restaurant operations, theme parks, hotels & resorts, and fast-food chains all over the world to save money and reduce their fire risk with an easy-to-use system. As opposed to metal kitchen grease filters that only stop 20-40% of grease vapours from entering the hood, Shepherd Filters capture up to 98% of airborne grease right at the filter! This reduces the grease build-up that enters the plenum, ductwork, fans, and roofs dramatically and therefore minimises the risk of catastrophic fires. Quick, easy to install, and disposed of in seconds, changing Shepherd Filters is a welcome alternative to degreasing filters.

With grease build-up heavily-reduced between cleans, instant savings are made to: • Labour/contractor costs associated with metal grease filters and exhaust systems • Reduced frequency and complexity of kitchen duct cleans • A reduction in water usage and harsh chemicals to maintain a clean kitchen exhaust system; • Cleaner rooftop fans, HVAC, and other extraction equipment, resulting in efficient operation, less maintenance, and energy savings

Shepherd Filters are proudly made from 100% wool, a renewable resource, the filter media is carbon-neutral and will break down in landfills. • HACCP approved • Won “Product of the Year” at the AIRAH Awards 2019 • Won “Service and Maintenance Initiative of the Year award” at H&V News UK 2018 • Won “Best New Hospitality Product” at Fine Foods Australia 2017
