The Perfect Plant-Based Pesto Alternative Waiheke Herbs bottled a unique selection of wild harvested herbs and flowers with traditional herbs - in an olive oil base naturally preserved with apple cider vinegar to create a vegan, plantbased pesto back in 2005. Wendy Kendall - creator of this now famous Waiheke Herb Spread, was always fascinated by the qualities of edible herbs and plants, particularly those growing in the wild. She spent a whole year observing which herbs and flowers grew year around so she could harvest fresh herbs every week of the year for her spread. Now, with several awards to endorse the popularity and delicious flavour of this versatile condiment, Waiheke Herb Spread is well established in most speciality and organic stores, with new flavours recently added to the range using Asian herbs/ingredients and Italian herbs/ ingredients. Perfect for that finishing, nutritional touch to soups, stews, quiche, sandwiches, roast meats, and vegetables - catering sizes are available directly from their new custom built production facility in East Tamaki which they set up in March 2022, after outgrowing their space at the Rangihoua Estate Olive Oil factory on Waiheke Island and wanting to reduce freight costs. Large herb gardens on Waiheke Island supply all the herbs and flowers which are not available from regular growers. For more information, visit www.waihekeherbs.co.nz
