THE MARKET LEADER

For the last 25 years NZ Deli has been a recognised name in the New Zealand market, and for the last decade has been renowned as a one-stop-shop for all meat products including smallgoods, fresh meats and high-end air-dried products. NZ Deli is dedicated to delivering a wide range of meat-based solutions that target reductions in labour and plate costs for the customer, which include restaurants, cafés, QSRs and catering companies.

All the while, NZ Deli brings innovation to the table with new cooking techniques, product innovations and flavours. In addition to leading the market with sous vide products, the NZ Deli range of ready meal solutions is targeted at reducing cook times while presenting a quality option that doesn’t rely on skilled chefs. Ultimately, this helps restaurants and cafés with margin and flexibility in a tough labour market.

NZ Deli currently works with local meat and ingredient processors, as well as well-established importers that source the right specification of meats. Being a market leader means staying ahead of the game, which is why NZ Deli has proactively reviewed its ingredients and is looking to remove all nitrites from products by 2020, following claims made by The World Health Organisations that ingredients in some meats cause cancer. While it is a long development cycle, NZ Deli is leading larger manufacturers in this change.

Exciting times are ahead for NZ Deli with a potential announcement of exclusive distribution to be confirmed in September. This potential partnership will allow NZ Deli products to be readily accessible at a national level.
